A plasma processing apparatus is provided which includes an inert gas supply route connected to a process gas supply piping which supplies a process gas into a processing chamber in a vacuum vessel, a valve which opens or closes the inert gas supply route, and an adjuster which adjusts a flow rate of the inert gas. When processing of a sample is complete, an inert gas is supplied into the process gas supply piping so that a pressure in the process gas supply piping is maintained at a pressure higher than a pressure at which a compound of the process gas and a material of an inner wall of the process gas supply piping vaporizes.

It is required for the conventional plasma processing apparatus used for plasma processing in a reduced pressure atmosphere to replace the component parts such as earth member frequently as the expendable supplies because an insulation-processed layer and the substrate itself are thinned due to plasma and impurities contained in these thinned materials diffuse into plasma to result in adverse effect on a sample such as wafer, and thinning of the insulation-processed layer due to plasma and resultant electrical effect of the thinning of the insulation-processed layer cause the change of the state of plasma. The invention solves the problem by using electrically conductive ceramic that is formed of a baked material mainly composed of alumina for component parts of the apparatus in the plasma processing apparatus used for plasma processing of an sample to be processed such as wafer in a reduced pressure atmosphere.
