Abstract

The invention relates to an antenna device of a low impedance for generating a large quantity of inductively coupled plasma to process a large size of a specimen with adjustment for a uniform distribution in the density of plasma, comprising: a high frequency power source; a first antenna for receiving the high frequency power supplied from the high frequency power source; and a second antenna connected in parallel with the first antenna for receiving the high frequency power supplied from the high frequency power source, wherein a resonant state is kept between the first and second antennas.
