Abstract:
In a plasma processing apparatus, a controller controls one or both of a first high frequency power supply and a second high frequency power supply to periodically stop the supply of one or both of the first high frequency power and the second high frequency power. The controller also controls a switching unit to apply a DC voltage to a focus ring from a first time after a predetermined period of time in which a self-bias voltage of a lower electrode is decreased from a start point of each period in which one or both of the first high frequency power and the second high frequency power are supplied and to stop the application of the DC voltage to the focus ring during each period in which the supply of one or both of the first high frequency power and the second high frequency power is stopped.

Claim (Index 8):
The plasma processing method of  claim 7 , wherein the plasma processing apparatus further includes:\n a main control unit; and a measuring device configured to measure a self-bias voltage of the lower electrode, wherein the main control unit is configured to determine a set value from a self-bias voltage of the lower electrode specified from a process condition and the amount of consumption of the focus ring by using a predetermined function or table, and wherein in said applying the DC voltage, the DC voltage whose absolute value is a sum of the set value determined by the main control unit and an absolute value of the self-bias voltage measured by the measuring device is applied to the focus ring.
