Abstract

A microwave plasma processing apparatus comprises a vacuum processing chamber, a substrate disposed within the vacuum processing chamber, a microwave guide coupled to the vacuum processing chamber, and fins for dividing a microwave in the electric field direction. The length of fins are different such that the uniformity of the film thickness distribution on the substrate of large area can be improved.
