Abstract

Disclosed is a plasma CVD apparatus and a method therefor, the apparatus comprising: a microwave generating portion; a coaxial cavity resonator for making a microwave supplied from the microwave generating portion resonate; a plurality of gas leading inlets provided in under portions of an axis of the cavity resonator and in peripheral wall portions of the cavity resonator for leading-in a supplied CVD gas; and a plasma generating chamber in which the CVD gas lead into the plasma generating chamber through the gas leading inlets and made to flow uniformly onto a surface of a substrate is subject to the microwave made intensive through resonance in the cavity resonator and radiated through a coupling plate so that uniform plasma is generated to thereby form a thin film on the surface of the substrate. Further disclosed is a plasma processing apparatus and a method therefor, the apparatus comprising; a plasma chamber for maintaining plasma generated in the inside of the plasma chamber so as to perform plasma processing; a first microwave accumulating and intensifying cavity resonance chamber connected with the plasma chamber through a first slot plate; a second microwave accumulating…
