Abstract
A plasma processing apparatus includes: a processing container including a substrate support; a shower head that supplies active species of a first gas into the processing container; a first dissociation space through which the active species is supplied to the shower head; and a resonator that supplies electromagnetic waves in a VHF band or higher to the first dissociation space. The resonator includes: a cylindrical body; a gas pipe which passes through an interior of the cylindrical body, is provided along a central axis direction of the cylindrical body, and includes gas holes through which the first gas is supplied into the first dissociation space; and a dielectric window including a central portion through which the end portion of the gas pipe passes, and configured to seal a space between the gas pipe and the cylindrical body and cause the electromagnetic waves to transmit through the first dissociation space.
