Plasma processing apparatus

摘要

The present invention provides a plasma processing apparatus capable of bringing plasma close to a processing target and separating the plasma from the processing target. The plasma processing apparatus 1 according to the present invention has a chamber internally having a holding space 2a in which a processing target object 5 is held, and a plasma space 2b in which plasma is to be formed, a plasma gun 3 for emitting electrons into the plasma space 2b to form the plasma, and at least one pair of position-adjustable opposed magnets 4 for forming a magnetic flux passing across the chamber 2, between the holding space 2a and the plasma space 2b.

1. A plasma processing apparatus comprising:
a chamber internally having a holding space in which a processing target is held, and a plasma space in which plasma is to be formed; the holding space and the plasma space are arranged in one arrangement direction; a plasma gun for emitting electrons from a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction into the plasma space to form the plasma, the plasma gun having a convergent coil; and at least one pair of opposed magnets for forming a magnetic flux passing through the chamber, between the holding space and the plasma space, the pair of opposed magnets being positioned between the convergent coil of the plasma gun and the processing target so that opposite polarities of the pair of opposed magnets are opposed to each other.
