In a plasma processing apparatus including a processing chamber, a dielectric window for hermetically sealing the upper portion of the processing chamber, an induction antenna deployed above the dielectric window, a Faraday shield unit, and a control apparatus for controlling a first radio-frequency power source for supplying a radio-frequency power to the induction antenna, and a second radio-frequency power source for supplying a radio-frequency power to the Faraday shield unit, the Faraday shield unit includes a first Faraday shield having a first element, and a second Faraday shield having a second element deployed at a position adjacent to the first element, the control apparatus applying a time modulation to the radio-frequency powers that are respectively supplied to the first element and the second element, the phase of the first-element-supplied and time-modulated radio-frequency power being different from the phase of the second-element-supplied and time-modulated radio-frequency power.
