Abstract

A method of gas reaction process control in which plasma gas generated in a location different than a location at which a specimen is held is transported to a location at which the specimen is held and gas processing of the specimen is carried out. A control electrode with porous structure permeable to the plasma gas is provided in the transportation route and a voltage is applied to the control electrode voltage for adjusting the specimen surface potential so as to prevent degradation of the specimen due to specimen surface potential.
