ABSTRACT:
A plasma generating section generates a plasma in a process vessel. A plasma process section executes a plasma process to a substance to be processed by moving the plasma generated by the plasma generating section. A sensor section outputs an electrical signal corresponding to the intensity of plasma light having a predetermined wavelength in the plasma when the plasma process is executed by the plasma process section. A smoothing section smooths the electrical signal output from the sensor section. A end-point detecting section detects an end-point of the plasma process in accordance with the signal smoothed by the smoothing section.
