1. A plasma processing method comprising the steps of:
providing a first electrode, and a second electrode disposed relatively movable and parallel to the first electrode;
disposing an object on the first electrode, and between the first and second electrodes;
disposing a solid dielectric material on the first electrode, the solid dielectric material being in contact with at least a first side and an opposite second side of the object;
introducing a process gas between the first and second electrodes;
applying voltage to both the first and second electrodes; and
processing the object by plasma discharge generated between the first and second electrodes while moving the second electrode in a direction substantially parallel to the first electrode and the object.
