Plasma processing apparatus

摘要

A plasma processing apparatus which stably and continuously generates a uniform plasma to process large-diameter wafers using a wide range of seed gases under wide-ranging pressure and density conditions and can be thus used for a wide range of applications, ensuring a high production efficiency. The plasma processing apparatus, which introduces electromagnetic waves through a dielectric window into a reduced pressure vessel, has at least two antenna elements which are rotationally symmetrical. One end of each antenna is grounded and power is fed from a high frequency power supply to the other end in the same or virtually same phase.
