Abstract

A plasma processing apparatus in the present disclosure includes a plasma processing chamber, a gas supply, a power supply, and a controller. The controller causes (a) forming a first film on side walls of an opening of a processing target using the plasma so that the first film has different thicknesses along a spacing between pairs of side walls facing each other, and (b) forming a second film by performing a film forming cycle one or more times after (a) so that the second film has different thicknesses along the spacing between the pairs of side walls facing each other.
