Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a plasma treatment apparatus by which the diffusion of a plasma is suppressed effectively when a substrate to be treated is treated with the plasma in a plasma atmosphere, by which a highly fine treatment can be executed at a high vacuum degree and a high plasma density and, at the same time, which prevents the inside wall of a treatment container from being sputtered by the plasma. SOLUTION: A lower-side insulator 13 is installed around a susceptor 6 to be used as a lower-part electrode, and an upper-side insulator 31 is installed around an upper-part electrode 21. The outer end part 31a of the upper insulator 31 is situated at the outside of the lower-side insulator 13, and it is situated in a position which is lower than the surface of a wafer W. A narrowest gap L between the lower-side insulator 13 and the upper-side insulator 31 is made narrower than a gap G between the electrodes. Since the diffusion of a plasma generated between the electrodes is suppressed so as not to be diffused to side parts as it is, the inside wall of a treatment container 3 is not sputtered.
