Abstract
A substrate processing apparatus that can reliably improve the efficiency of heat transfer between a focus ring and a mounting stage. A housing chamber with the interior thereof evacuated houses a substrate. The substrate is mounted on a mounting stage that is disposed in the housing chamber. An annular focus ring is mounted on the mounting stage such as to surround a peripheral portion of the mounted substrate. A heat transfer film is formed on a surface of the focus ring which contacts the mounting stage by printing processing.
