Abstract

A plasma treatment apparatus which introduces electromagnetic waves from a dielectric window into a chamber evacuated to low pressure has a standing wave controlling part provided near the periphery part of the dielectric window with the portions other than the entrance thereof being surrounded by conductor, and having shape and size thereof equivalent to depth d=l/4+l/2×(n−1)±l/8: (n=positive integer, l=c(light velocity)/f/{square root over (&egr;)}) in terms of the characteristic length.
