Abstract

In a plasma surface treating method, a sample to be treated is supported on a first electrode within a vacuum vessel and a second electrode is caused to confront the first electrode. Active species of negative ions are then generated by means of a direct current glow discharge produced in an abnormal glow discharge region and are subsequently impinged upon a surface of the sample to induce a chemical reaction with the sample.
