Abstract
A plasma processing apparatus including: a processing chamber; a sample stage; a vacuum exhaust unit; and a plasma generation unit, the sample stage includes: a first metallic base material having a refrigerant flow path formed therein; a second metallic base material disposed above the first metallic base material and has a lower thermal conductivity than the first metallic base material; and a plurality of lift pins vertically moving the object to be processed with respect to the sample stage. A plurality of through-holes through which the plurality of the lift pins passes is formed in the first and the second metallic base material, and a boss, which electrically insulates the lift pin from the first and the second metallic base material and is formed using an insulating member having a higher thermal conductivity than the second metallic base material, is inserted into each of the plurality of through-holes.
