Abstract

A plasma processing apparatus includes: a shower head including a ceiling plate having a plurality of gas holes, and a base member having a space so as to supply the processing gas to the plurality of gas holes; a temperature adjustment mechanism provided in the shower head; an acquisition unit configured to acquire a combination of a plasma parameter and pressure in the space in the base member; an estimation unit configured to estimate temperature of the ceiling plate corresponding to the acquired combination of the parameter and the pressure with reference to temperature information indicating the temperature of the ceiling plate corresponding to the combination of the parameter and the pressure; and a temperature controller configured to control the temperature adjustment mechanism such that the estimated temperature of the ceiling plate becomes target temperature when a plasma processing is performed.
