  • Patent number: 10910252
    Abstract: A plasma processing apparatus includes an electrostatic chuck and a lifter pin. The electrostatic chuck has a mounting surface on which a target object is mounted and a back surface opposite to the mounting surface, and a through hole formed through the mounting surface and the back surface. The lifter pin is at least partially formed of an insulating member and has a leading end accommodated in the through hole. The lifter pin vertically moves with respect to the mounting surface to vertically transfer the target object. A conductive material is provided at at least one of a leading end portion of the lifter pin which corresponds to the through hole and a wall surface of the through hole which faces the lifter pin.
