Title:
ELECTRIC DISCHARGE PLASMA TREATING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2705897
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PURPOSE: To easily change a position where plasma is generate by a forming a magnetic neutral ray which is a position of the magnetic field zero existing continuously in a vacuum chamber and forming an electric field along this magnetic neutral ray, thereby generating the electric discharge plasma.
CONSTITUTION: The vacuum chamber 1 is composed of a cylindrical plasma generating chamber 2 consisting of an insulator and a substrate treating chamber 3. The outer side of this plasma generating chamber 2 is provided with electromagnetic coils 4, 5, 6 constituting magnetic field generating means. The same specified currents I4, I6 of the same direction are passed in the upper and lower electromagnetic coils 4, 6 and a current I5. of a reverse direction is passed in the intermediate electromagnetic coil 5. The anular magnetic neutral ray 7 which is the position of the magnetic field zero continuous on the inner side of the intermediate electromagnetic coil 5 is formed at the level of this coil. A high-frequency coil 8 which is an electric field generating means is wound concentrically on the outer side of the section of the electromagnetic coil 5 and a high-frequency electric field is applied along the magnetic neutral ray 7 to generate the strong electric field along the magnetic neutral ray 7. As a result, the position where the plasma is generated is easily displaced.
