    摘要: An electrode structure capable of adequately increasing an electron density in a processing space at a part facing a circumferential edge portion of a substrate. In a processing chamber of a substrate processing apparatus that performs RIE processing on a wafer, an upper electrode of the electrode structure is disposed to face the wafer placed on a susceptor inside the processing chamber. The upper electrode includes an inner electrode facing a central portion of the wafer and an outer electrode facing the circumferential edge portion of the wafer. The inner and outer electrodes are connected with first and second DC power sources, respectively. The outer electrode has its first secondary electron emission surface extending parallel to the wafer and its second secondary electron emission surface obliquely extending relative to the first secondary electron emission surface.
