Abstract
There is a plasma processing apparatus comprising: a processing chamber having a processing space; an electromagnetic wave generator configured to generate electromagnetic waves for plasma excitation; a dielectric having a first surface; an electromagnetic wave supply part configured to supply the electromagnetic waves to the processing space via the dielectric; and a resonator array structure disposed along the first surface of the dielectric, wherein the resonator array structure includes a plurality of resonators, each resonator having a structure in which a conductive member is laminated on one surface of a dielectric plate, having a first resonance frequency, capable of resonating with magnetic field components of the electromagnetic waves and having a size smaller than a wavelength of the electromagnetic waves, and the resonator array structure is configured to form cells surrounded by the resonators, and the cells include the resonators having different first resonance frequencies between the cells.
