Abstract

Disclosed is a plasma processing apparatus, comprising a processing chamber in which an object to be processed is arranged, a processing gas introducing pipe for introducing a processing gas into the processing chamber, an antenna arranged in that region on the outer surface of the processing chamber which is positioned to correspond to the object to be processed, an insulator being interposed between the antenna and the processing chamber, and a high frequency power being supplied to the antenna so as to form an induction electric field near the object to be processed, and a paramagnetic member arranged to overlap at least partially with the antenna.
