A radio-frequency antenna includes a metal fiber sheet. A plasma processing device includes: a vacuum container including a wall having an opening; a radio-frequency antenna including a metal fiber sheet and located at the opening; and a dielectric protection plate located closer to the interior of the vacuum container than the radio-frequency antenna and configured to close the opening in a gas-tight manner.
