Abstract

The present invention relates to the new structure antenna to create the uniform large area plasma using microwave. The microwave antenna to create the plasma of present invention comprises the waveguide, main body of antenna and the coaxial structure connecting part which connects said waveguide and said main body of antenna electrically, the main body of antenna comprises the conductive block in donut shape forming multiple slots, and notches are formed between the multiple slots of the conductive block and multiple permanent magnets are inserted into the notches. The multiple slots can be formed by passing through the inside and outside of the conductive block and the multiple slots can be formed with repetitive square wave pattern.
