A plasma processing apparatus is provided. The plasma processing apparatus comprises: a dielectric member having a placement surface on which an object to be processed is placed and a back surface opposite to the placement surface, and having a first through-hole penetrating through the placement surface and the back surface; a mounting table having a support surface for supporting the dielectric member and a base having a second through-hole communicating with the first through-hole; and an embedded member disposed in the first through-hole and the second through-hole, wherein the embedded member includes a first embedded member disposed in the first through-hole and a second embedded member disposed in the second through-hole, and the rigidity of the second embedded member is lower than the rigidity of the first embedded member.
