Abstract

There is provided a focus ring formed without an adhesive that can suppress abnormal electric discharge and obtain uniform plasma environment in a circumferential direction in a plasma processing apparatus. The focus ring includes a plurality of arc-shaped members and a plurality of connecting members connecting the plurality of the arc-shaped members to form a ring shape without an adhesive, and is formed such that a thickness between an upper surface of the connecting member and a bottom surface of a concave fitting portion of the connecting member is greater than a thickness between an upper surface of the arc-shaped member and a bottom surface of a second depression of the arc-shaped member.
