A plasma is generated by feeding an antenna with radio-frequency electric power generated by a radio-frequency power source, and one end of the antenna is grounded to the earth through a capacitor of variable capacitance. A Faraday shield is electrically isolated from the earth, and the capacitance of the variable capacitor is determined to be such a value that the voltage at the two ends of the antenna may be equal in absolute values and inverted to reduce the partial removal of the wall after the plasma ignition. At the time of igniting the plasma, the capacitance of the capacitor is adjusted to a larger or smaller value than that minimizing the damage of the wall.

A plasma processing apparatus includes a vacuum chamber having a structure that surrounds a space where plasma is generated, a sample stage disposed in the chamber on which a sample to be processed is placed and coil antenna providing an electric field to the space. The structure has a non-conductive member surrounding the space and a conductive member covering the non-conductive member, both of which are disposed between the antenna and the space. The conductive member is electrically floated at least when the plasma is generated.
