Abstract

An apparatus for generating a dielectric-barrier discharge gas including a high-energy radical gas, at a high density and with high efficiency. A flat-plate-like first electrode and a flat-plate-like second electrode are arranged in opposite positions, and a dielectric body is arranged between the two electrodes. A discharge space is located between the first electrode and the dielectric body, within a gap between the first electrode and the dielectric body. The discharge space has three sides which are gas shielded and a fourth side which opens to end surfaces of the first electrode and the dielectric body. A cooling section cools at least the first electrode and a gas supply section supplies a raw material gas to the discharge space part. A dielectric-barrier discharge is generated in the discharge space part by applying an AC voltage to the first electrode and the second electrode.
