Abstract
A plasma processing apparatus includes a vacuum vessel, a substrate electrode, a discharge coil which is partially or wholly made to have a multiple spiral or helical configuration, a high frequency power source, and a matching circuit that is connected to the discharge coil by way of a conductor wire and connected to the high frequency power source via a connection cable, and generates plasma inside the vacuum vessel by applying a high frequency voltage to the discharge coil so as to process a substrate disposed on the substrate electrode.
