Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide plasma processing equipment which prevents charging damages of an object to be processed or nonuniform plasma processing speed within the surface of the object; and a method for fabricating high quality semiconductor equipment which does not cause nonuniform plasma processing or charging damages. SOLUTION: The plasma etching equipment has a processing chamber 1, a lower electrode 2 and an upper electrode 3 which are placed facing each other in the processing chamber 1, and a magnet 4 which is placed along the periphery of the processing chamber 1. The magnet 4 forms a graded magnetic field in a manner that the field strength in a direction of E1×B, which is the drift direction of electron near the electrode 2 is weaker in the downstream than that of the upstream. At the time of etching process, a high frequency electric power is applied to the upper electrode 3 as well by an upper high frequency power source.
