In a plasma processing apparatus, an additional viewing window is disposed between an infrared temperature sensor and a view window, and the additional viewing window is cooled to be retained at room temperature (20&#xb0; C. to 25&#xb0; C.), to reduce and to stabilize electromagnetic waves emitted from the viewing window. By correcting the value of the electromagnetic waves, the measurement precision of the temperature monitor is increased and it is possible to measure and to control the dielectric window temperature in a stable state.
