An etching apparatus has an antenna connected to a radio frequency power supply through a matching box. At the center region of a dielectric plate, a columnar conductor and a cylindrical conduct ring are arranged. Between the columnar conductor and the conductor ring, four conducting wires, each of which forms a substantially circular loop outside the conductor ring, are connected in parallel with the radio frequency power supply. A loop formed by each of the conducting wires is arranged at an equal spacing with each other to be rotationally-symmetric around the axis orthogonal to a mounting table, with the columnar conductor as the center. The loops are arranged on the same plane such that a surface where each loop is placed faces the mounting table.
