Abstract:
A plasma processing apparatus includes a baffle plate, a shutter, and a driving device. The baffle plate has a cylindrical shape, and has a plurality of through holes formed in a sidewall thereof. The shutter has a cylindrical shape and is provided around the baffle plate to be movable in an axial direction of the baffle plate along the sidewall of the baffle plate. The driving device moves the shutter along the sidewall of the baffle plate. The plurality of through holes are disposed in the sidewall of the baffle plate so that synthesized conductance of the through holes, which are not covered by the shutter, is increased with respect to a movement amount of the shutter as the shutter is moved downward.

Claim (Index 2):
The plasma processing apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein assuming that, for each of regions of the sidewall of the baffle plate through which an upper end of the shutter passes when the position of the shutter is changed by a predetermined distance, a number, which is assigned in the ascending order to the regions in an order that the upper end of the shutter passes when the shutter is moved downward, is defined as s, conductance of each of the through holes is defined as C h , an inclination of a straight line indicating a change in pressure in the processing container with respect to a targeted movement amount of the shutter is defined as \u2212\u03b1, a segment of the straight line is defined as \u03b2, and a mass flow rate of gas supplied into the processing space is defined as Q, the number n(s) of the through holes disposed in the region indicated by the number s satisfies Equation 1 as follows. \u03b1 \ue89e \ue89e C q ( C q \ue89e \u03b2 - C q \ue89e \u03b1 \ue89e \ue89e s ) 2 = n \ue8a0 ( s ) \ue89e \n \ue89e C q = C h Q [ Equation \ue89e \ue89e 1 ]
