Abstract

A plasma processing method of performing plasma processing such as plasma film formation processing on a target object arranged in a processing vessel is disclosed. This method includes the first step of introducing an inert gas into the processing vessel, the second step of generating a plasma of the inert gas in the processing vessel, the third step of introducing a processing gas for processing the target object into the processing vessel, and the fourth step of generating a plasma of the processing gas in the processing vessel to process the target object.
