A wafer processing apparatus capable of obtaining a uniform CD distribution within a wafer is provided. The wafer processing apparatus comprises at least two separate circuits of temperature regulating means provided in a wafer stage, a plurality of cooling gas pressure regulating means for feeding cooling gas between the semiconductor wafer and the wafer stage, means for regulating heater input power, and a control computer. The control computer receives input of line width dimensions resulting from processes in an arbitrary plurality of temperature conditions obtained by changing at least one of the conditions of the temperature of the temperature regulating agent, the cooling gas pressure, and the input power of the heater. The line width dimensions are used to calculate, and control, at least one of the temperature of the temperature regulating agent, the cooling gas pressure, and the input power of the heater for obtaining an arbitrary etching line width dimension.
