Abstract

A microwave plasma generator, wherein permanent magnets 3 forms intense magnetic field exceeding an intensity of electron cyclotron resonance magnetic field at microwave exit 6a of a dielectric body in an electron heating space chamber, the intensity of the magnetic field formed by the permanent magnet decreases rapidly to the zero at a point 14 in the vicinity of the boundary of the electronic heating space camber 1 and a plasma generating space chamber 2, and accordingly, most of electrons can be absorbed into electrons to heat and form high energy electrons at a position 12a-12c in electron cyclotron resonance layer 12.
