A plasma surface treatment method for performing a surface treatment on a quartz member used under a plasma-exposed environment by using a plasma having an ion energy greater than about 5.3 eV. The plasma has, near a surface of the quartz member, an electron temperature higher than or equal to about 2 eV. Further, in a plasma processing apparatus for generating a plasma by introducing a microwave into a processing chamber through a planar antenna having a plurality of slots, the surface treatment is carried out for about 30-300 seconds by using a plasma of a processing gas containing Ar gas and N<SUB>2 </SUB>gas under conditions of a processing pressure lower than or equal to about 15 Pa and a microwave power higher than or equal to about 0.9 W/cm<SUP>2</SUP>, the surface treatment being repeated 25 to 2000 times.
