A plasma processing apparatus has a plasma processing chamber that accommodates an electrode pair of a plasma excitation electrode for exciting plasma and a susceptor electrode facing the plasma excitation electrode, a workpiece to be treated being placed therebetween. The apparatus also has a chassis that accommodates an impedance matching circuit, provided in the middle of a supply path for feeding RF power from an RF generator to the plasma excitation electrode, for matching the impedance between the RF generator and the plasma processing chamber. In the chassis, impedances are axisymmetrically equal at a predetermined frequency with respect to the direction of a high-frequency current returning to the RF generator. The matching circuit has at least two inductance coils connected in parallel.
