Abstract:
Disclosed is an etching apparatus (1) which comprises: an etching gas supply unit (10c) which supplies an etching gas into a vacuum chamber (10); a first electrode (12) which is disposed in the vacuum chamber and on the upper surface of which a substrate (Sb) is mounted; a second electrode (16) which faces the first electrode with a plasma generation space (S) lying therebetween; and a high-frequency power supply (20) which supplies high-frequency electric power to the first electrode. The etching apparatus additionally comprises an insulating unit (30) which covers at least a region of the inner surface (10d) of the vacuum chamber, in said region the relative distance from the first electrode being not more than the interelectrode distance (G) between the first electrode and the second electrode. The insulating unit (30) comprises a lateral surface (31d) that surrounds the substrate mounted on the first electrode or the second electrode, and the lateral surface includes a tapered portion (31f), the internal diameter of which increases toward the plasma generation space (S).
