Abstract

The present invention relates to a plasma processing apparatus in which it is possible to efficiently perform maintenance of a processing chamber. A plasma processing apparatus has a processing chamber including a lower chamber and an upper chamber, a platen on which a silicon substrate is placed, a processing gas supply device, coils, high-frequency power supply unit for coil, an elevating board with a through hole provided to be vertically movable, an elevating mechanism for supporting and moving the elevating board, and a fixing mechanism for fixing the upper chamber. The fixing member is configured from a fixing board, first fixing bolts for connecting and fixing a top plate to the elevating board using the fixing board, second fixing bolts for fixing a flange portion of a holding member to an annular plate, and third fixing bolts for fixing the annular plate to a sidewall of the lower chamber.
