Abstract
A plasma processing apparatus includes: a processing container; an electrode that places a substrate thereon within the processing container; a plasma generation source that supplies plasma into the processing container; a bias power supply that supplies bias power to the electrode; a part exposed to the plasma in the processing container; a DC power supply that supplies a DC voltage to the part; a controller that executes a process including a first control procedure in which a first state in which the DC voltage has a first voltage value and a second state in which the DC voltage has a second voltage value higher than the first voltage value are periodically repeated, and the first voltage value is applied in a partial period in each cycle of a potential of the electrode, and the second voltage value is applied such that the first state and the second state are continuous.
