Abstract

A plasma processing apparatus includes a processing container for receiving a substrate to be processed and processing the substrate by a plasma of a processing gas, a substrate mounting table, installed in the processing container, for mounting the substrate thereon, and a gas supplying unit for supplying the processing gas into the processing container. Here, the substrate mounting table includes a mounting table main body formed of an insulator component. Here, an electrode is embedded inside the mounting table main body, a high frequency power supply for supplying a high frequency power is connected to the electrode, and one or more exposed electrodes are installed to be exposed toward the outside of the mounting table main body and electrically connected to the electrode in the mounting table main body.
