Abstract

A processing gas supply hole is constituted with a gas outlet hole formed at an electrode plate and a gas injection hole formed at a processing gas supply mechanism main unit. At the gas injection hole, a processing gas having flowed in on the upstream side is injected toward the gas outlet hole through an injection opening of a nozzle portion disposed on the downstream side, so as to generate a suction force at a suction flow passage formed around the nozzle portion by taking advantage of the ejector defect.
