There is provided a plasma processing system and method capable of
decreasing the non-uniformity of a field distribution on the surface of
an electrode and making the density of plasma uniform, in a plasma
processing using a high density plasma which can cope with a further
scale down. First and second electrodes 21 and 5 are provided in a
chamber so as to face each other. A feeder plate 52 is arranged so as to
be slightly spaced from the opposite surface of a surface serving as a
feeding plane of the first electrode facing the second electrode 5. A
feeder rod 51 is connected to the feeder plate 52 at a position which is
radially shifted from a position corresponding to the center of the
feeding plane of the first electrode 21. The feeder plate 52 is rotated
to rotate the feeding position of the feeder rod 51 on the feeding plane
of the first electrode. A high frequency electric power is thus fed to
form a high frequency electric field between the first and second
electrodes 21 and 5 to form plasma to plasma-process a substrate W.
