Abstract

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device may include: forming a main magnetic field having an axis, and forming a subsidiary magnetic field substantially parallel to the axis; applying an alternating current along a path between the main and the subsidiary magnetic fields; allowing a gas to flow along a flow path along the path of the current so that a gas plasma is generated from the gas; providing the gas plasma into a chamber separated from a position where the gas plasma is generated; and performing a process for manufacturing a semiconductor device by employing the gas plasma.
