ABSTRACT:
A plasma processing apparatus having a processing chamber and a sample base, and processing a sample by using plasma generated inside the processing chamber, the processing chamber being located inside a vacuum container, the sample base being located inside the processing chamber, the sample being mounted on the sample base, the plasma processing apparatus including a component member configuring inner-side wall surface of the processing chamber, and having a dielectric portion on the inner-side wall surface, an exhaustion unit for exhausting the inside of the processing chamber, and an electric-field supply unit for supplying an electric field to the component member in a state where the plasma will not be generated inside the processing chamber, wherein magnitude of the electric field supplied from the electric-field supply unit is changed rapidly while exhausting the inside of the processing chamber by the exhaustion unit.
