Abstract

An electrode for generating plasma and a plasma process apparatus are provided to prevent generation of excessive local stress due to a thermal expansive coefficient difference by using a metal-group composite material. A plasma generation electrode includes a metal-group composite material(8) and a conductive plate(82). The metal-group composite material has a junction surface facing a surface to be processed of a substrate by impregnating silicon into silicon carbide(9) of a porous ceramic. The conductive plate is made of a plasma-resistant material melt-joined on a junction surface of the metal-group composite material by a metal.

Description
