摘要 |
The invention relates to a device for generating excited and/or ionized particles in a plasma from a process gas, which comprises a generator for generating an electromagnetic wave, a waveguide, and a gas discharge chamber with a gas discharge space in which the excited and/or ionized particles are formed, and comprising a dielectric in which the gas discharge space is formed, the gas discharge chamber being arranged inside the waveguide. In order to be able to use the largest possible microwave powers while achieving a long service life, the dielectric forms an end base from which side walls branch off so as to form the gas discharge space. The electromagnetic wave can also be coupled into the end base.
