A surface treatment apparatus encompasses a gas introducing system configured to introduce a process gas from downstream end of a tubular treatment object; a vacuum evacuating system configured to evacuate the process gas from other end of the treatment object; an excited particle supplying system disposed at upstream side of the treatment object, configured to supply excited particles for inducing initial discharge in a main body of the treatment object; and a first main electrode and a second main electrode disposed oppositely to each other, defining a treating region of the treatment object as a main plasma generating region disposed therebetween, wherein the excited particle supplying system is driven at least until generation of main plasma, and main pulse of duty ratio of 10<SUP>-7 </SUP>to 10 <SUP>-1 </SUP>is applied across the first main electrode and second main electrode, to generate a non-thermal equilibrium plasma flow in the inside of the treatment object, and thereby an inner surface of the treatment object is treated.
