Abstract

A plasma processing apparatus includes a stage including a lower electrode in an inner space of a chamber main body. An upper electrode is provided above the stage. A first radio frequency power supply is electrically connected to the upper electrode through a power feed conductor. A second radio frequency power supply is electrically connected to a lower electrode. A ground conductor extends above the chamber main body to cover the upper electrode. The ground conductor provides an external space at the outside thereof on the side of the inner space. the third portion, the external space being provided on the second portion and above the inner space. The external space is spaced upward from the upper electrode and is shielded from the upper electrode by the ground conductor. An electromagnet is disposed in the external space.
