2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a heat source in a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus or the like, a so-called stainless steel heater or an indirect heating system has been generally used.

Here, according to the screw formula shown in FIG.
Considering the increase in the contact area due to the provision of the thread portion, considering the case where the depth l shown in FIG. 1 is 10 mm with the M3 screw, the pitch is P = 0.35 and the thread is 28. .6. If the contact area of one screw thread is calculated as the distance of the cross section, it becomes 2 × (H1 / cos30 °), and 28.6 times this is the contact distance of the cross section. Therefore, the depth l
