Abstract

See full text

In a plasma processing apparatus for generating a plasma in a plasma generation space between a lower electrode and an upper electrode so that a processing object mounted on the lower electrode is subjected to plasma processing, a plurality of cutout portions for absorption of strain caused by thermal expansion due to rapid temperature increases in the plasma processing are formed at an equal pitch in an outer edge portion of a gas shower plate included in the upper electrode. Thus, the gas shower plate can be prevented from being damaged by occurrence of cracks in the outer edge portion of the gas shower plate or the like.
