ABSTRACT:
A vacuum processing apparatus, including a reactor and a partitioning plate having a plurality of through-holes through which radicals are allowed to pass and separating the reactor into a plasma generating space and a substrate process space, the process, such as a film deposition process, being carried out on a substrate placed in the substrate process space by delivering a gas into the plasma generating space for generating a plasma, producing radicals with the plasma thus generated, and delivering the radicals through the plurality of through-holes on the partitioning plate into the substrate process space. The partitioning plate includes a partitioning body having a plurality of through-holes and a control plate disposed on the plasma generating space side of the partitioning body and having radical passage holes in the positions corresponding to the plurality of through-holes on the partitioning plate.
