Abstract
The object of the invention is to provide a plasma processing apparatus having enhanced plasma processing uniformity. The plasma processing apparatus comprises a processing chamber, meansandfor supplying processing gas into the processing chamber, evacuation meansandfor decompressing the processing chamber, an electrodeon which an objectto be processed such as a wafer is placed, and an electromagnetic radiation power supplyA, wherein at least two kinds of processing gases having different composition ratios of Oor Nare introduced into the processing chamber through different gas inlets so as to control the in-plane uniformity of the critical dimension while maintaining the in-plane uniformity of the process depth.
