A low-oxygen atmosphere apparatus including a chamber which houses an object to be processed, microwave generators, and waveguides through which a microwave generated in the microwave generators is transmitted, and further including, in the chamber and/or the waveguides, oxygen-reducing materials to lower the oxygen concentration of the atmosphere in the chamber, which generates heat by the microwave in order to accelerate a reducing reaction of oxygen, thereby lowering the oxygen concentration of the atmosphere in the chamber. |
