PLASMA PROCESSING APPARATUS

A plasma processing apparatus comprises a processing chamber accommodating a substrate, and defining a processing space by an upper wall, a side wall, and a lower wall, a microwave generator configured to generate a microwave for generating plasma, a plurality of microwave radiators provided above the upper wall, and configured to radiate the microwave toward the processing chamber, a plurality of microwave transmission windows provided at positions corresponding to the plurality of microwave radiators in the upper wall, and formed of a dielectric, and a plurality of resonator array structures disposed on lower surfaces of the plurality of microwave transmission windows, respectively. The resonator array structures are formed by arranging a plurality of resonators that are capable of resonance with a magnetic field component of the microwave and are smaller in size than a wavelength of the microwave.
