Abstract

A plasma processing apparatus for processing a workpiece with plasma includes a stage configured to place thereon the workpiece, a waveguide part configured to introduce plasma-generating electromagnetic waves in a VHF band into the plasma processing apparatus, and a dielectric window configured to transmit the electromagnetic waves introduced through the waveguide part to a plasma processing space formed on a workpiece placement side of the stage. The dielectric window is an annular member disposed so as to face a plasma processing space side of the stage and includes multiple convex portions, which protrude toward the stage and are arranged on the stage side along a circumferential direction at regular intervals. The convex portions each has a circumferential width of ⅛ to ⅜ of the wavelength of the electromagnetic waves inside the dielectric window.
