ABSTRACT:
A plasma processing apparatus having 90% or more of a side wall of an inner wall101of a reaction chamber1covered with a dielectric102, and equipped with an earthed conductive member21ahaving an area of less than 10% of the side wall area of the inner wall101and having a structure to allow direct current from a plasma to flow therein, wherein the DC earth formed of the conductive member21is located at a position where floating potential of plasma (or plasma density) is higher than the floating potential of plasma9located near a wafer holding electrode14where there is relatively large wall chipping.
