Plasma processing apparatus with a dielectric body in the waveguide

摘要

Dielectric bodies are arranged in waveguide portions for passing microwave radiation and for holding a plasma generating chamber 25 at a vacuum. The dielectric bodies are arranged to intersect at least an electron cyclotron resonance area of the waveguide portions. A tip end portion of the dielectric bodies at a side of the plasma generating chamber are positioned toward at a side of the plasma generating chamber from an intermediate portion in an axial direction length of a first permanent magnet which is arranged by enclosing an outer periphery of the waveguide portions, and a tip end portion of the dielectric bodies at a side of the plasma generating chamber is substantially consistent with an inner face of the plasma generating chamber.
