A plasma processing method of subjecting a substance to plasma processing by using a semiconductor device manufacturing apparatus including a process chamber, a unit for supplying gas to the process chamber, an exhausting unit to reduce pressure in the process chamber, a high frequency power source for plasma generation, a coil for generating a magnetic field, and a mounted electrode for mounting the substance to be processed. The method includes steps of subjecting the substance to a predetermined plasma processing, changing the magnetic field distribution, so as to make a plasma distribution of the process chamber with respect to the surface of the substance to be processed, in a convex form, at a time of igniting the plasma and after completion of the predetermined plasma processing, as compared with a plasma distribution with respect to the surface of the substance to be processed during the predetermined plasma processing.
