Abstract

A plasma processing apparatus includes a processing container whose interior has a mount table, a glass plate for covering an upper opening of the processing container, a microwave supplier, a coaxial waveguide having its end connected with the microwave supplier to have an inner conductor and an outer conductor, a radial waveguide box connected to the other end of the outer conductor of the coaxial waveguide to expand from the other end of the outer conductor outward in the radial direction and extend downward, a disc-shaped antenna member for covering a lower opening of the radial waveguide box having its central part connected with the other end of the inner conductor, and a metallic reflector on the opposite side of the antenna member's part connected with the inner conductor.
