Abstract

A desired component of an electromagnetic field in a slot antenna is selectively taken to be supplied into a vessel for generating a plasma. The angle of inclination of slots (36) relative to the circumferential direction of a radiation surface (31) of the slot antenna (30) is decreased as the position of the slots approaches the periphery of the radiation surface 31 from the center O of the radiation surface.
