In the plasma processing apparatus according to the present invention,
The AC voltage applied to the first electrode and the second electrode may have the same phase or opposite phases, and may have a phase difference other than 180 °. Further, the frequencies of the alternating voltage applied to both electrodes may be the same or different. Further, in order to enhance the plasma processing efficiency, it is preferable to ground the object to be processed.
For example, when the object to be processed has a conductor layer on at least one of the first surface or the second surface, or as a result of the plasma treatment, a conductor layer is formed on at least one of the first surface or the second surface of the object to be processed. In this case, the entire object to be processed can be brought to approximately the ground potential by grounding the conductor layer by using an appropriate wiring.

(Simultaneous Processing on Both Sides) A case where both sides of the object 10 are simultaneously processed will be described with reference to FIG.
When both surfaces (10A, 10B) of the object to be processed 10 are processed at the same time, the motors 28, 30 are moved to positions where the distances from the object 10 to be processed to both the electrode plates 16, 18 are substantially equal.
The carriages 24 and 26 are moved by. Next, processing chamber 4
After depressurizing the inside of the chamber to a predetermined pressure, the switches of the relays 32 and 34 are set to the terminal Ta side (power source side) while supplying the plasma source gas to the processing chamber 4 (see FIG. 1). As a result, an AC voltage is applied to each of the electrode plates 16 and 18. The phases of these AC voltages may be the same phase or opposite phases, or there may be a phase difference other than 180 °. On the other hand, since the rollers 20 and 22 are grounded as described above, both surfaces 10 of the workpiece 10 that are in contact with the rollers 20 and 22 are grounded.
The potentials A and 10B are also substantially equal to the ground potential. Therefore, plasma is efficiently generated on both sides of the object to be processed 10. As a result, the first surface 10A and the second surface 10B of the object to be processed 10 are simultaneously plasma-processed. The roller 2
Even if the object to be processed 10 is not set to the ground potential through 0 and 22, plasma can be efficiently generated on both sides of the object to be processed 10 by making the phases of the AC voltages applied to the electrode plates 16 and 18 opposite phases. it can.

(One-sided processing) A case where only one side of the object 10 is processed will be described with reference to FIG. For example, when it is desired to process only the first surface 10A, the object to be processed 10
The carriages 24, 26 are moved by the motors 28, 30 until the position comes close to (the distance is 10 mm or less) or contacts the second electrode plate 18 on the side opposite to the first surface 10A. Next, after depressurizing the inside of the processing chamber 4 to a predetermined pressure, while supplying the plasma source gas to the processing chamber 4, the switch of the relay 32 is set to the terminal Ta side (power supply side), while the switch of the relay 34 is turned on. Set to the terminal Tb side (ground side). As a result, an AC voltage is applied to the first electrode plate 16, the second electrode plate 18 is grounded, and the object 10 to be processed that is in proximity to or in contact with the first electrode plate 18 is also at substantially ground potential. .
Therefore, the first surface 10A of the workpiece 10 and the first electrode plate 1
Plasma is efficiently generated between the plasma and the plasma. This allows
The first surface 10A of the object to be processed 10 is plasma-processed. On the other hand, since there is almost no potential difference between the second surface 10B of the object to be processed 10 and the second electrode plate 18, plasma is not generated between the two and therefore the second surface 10B is not plasma-treated.

Although one embodiment of the plasma processing apparatus according to the present invention has been described above with reference to the drawings, it goes without saying that the embodiment is not limited to the above.
For example, in the above-described embodiment, the positional relationship between the electrode plates 16 and 18 and the workpiece 10 is changed by changing the positions of the rollers 20 and 22, but the workpiece 10 including the reels 12 and 14 is fed. / The entire winding system may be movable in the direction of arrow A3 in FIG. In addition, the object 10 and the electrode plates 16 and 18 are moved by moving the electrode plates 16 and 18 instead of moving the object 10.
The positional relationship with may be changed. in this case,
The relative positions of the two electrode plates 16 and 18 may be fixed so that they move together, or the electrode plates 16 and 18 may move independently of each other. In addition, if a plurality of electrode plates having different thicknesses are prepared and, for example, only the first surface 10A of the object to be processed 10 is desired to be processed, the second electrode plate 18 having a large thickness can be used. Two sides 10B
The second electrode plate 18 and the second electrode plate 18 may be brought close to or in contact with each other.
