Abstract

To prevent occurrence of arcing caused by difference of thermal expansion between the electrode and the solid dielectric in a plasma processing apparatus. The bottom part of a casingof processing unitsL,R is open, this opening part is closed with a solid dielectric plate, and an electrodeis received in the casingsuch that the electrodeis free in the longitudinal direction. The solid dielectric platehas such strength as capable of supporting the dead weight of the electrodesolely by itself. The electrodeis placed on the upper surface of the solid dielectric plateis a non-fixed state such that the dead weight of the electrodeis almost totally applied to the solid dielectric plate
