In a plasma generating apparatus utilizing electron cyclotron resonance, comprising a vacuum vessel capable of maintaining a vacuum state therein, an antenna for radiating electromagnetic waves into the vacuum vessel, a permanent magnet for forming a resonance magnetic field, and an outer sleeve made of an insulator and accommodating the permanent magnet therein, the outer sleeve being permeable to lines of magnetic force and having air tightness, two permanent magnets are arranged to form the resonance magnetic field in a spaced relation with the same polarity poles of the permanent magnets facing each other. With this ECR type plasma generating apparatus, a resonance region is increased so that various plasma processes can be uniformly performed over a wider region.
