Abstract

A plasma processing apparatus includes a vacuum container, a conveyance unit including a rotator and circulating and carrying a workpiece through the conveyance path, a cylindrical member having an opening at one end extended in the direction toward the conveyance path, a window member provided at the cylindrical member, and dividing a gas space from the exterior thereof, a supply unit supplying the process gas in the gas space, and an antenna generating inductive coupling plasma on the workpiece. The supply unit supplies the process gas from plural locations where a passing time at which the surface of the rotator passes through a process region is different, and the plasma processing apparatus further includes an adjusting unit individually adjusting the supply amounts of the process gas from the plural locations of the supply unit per a unit time in accordance with the passing time.
