Abstract

Provided is a plasma generating device. The plasma generating device includes: an RF power supply providing an RF signal; a plasma chamber providing a space where gas is injected to generate plasma; a first electromagnetic inducer installed at one portion of the plasma chamber and inducing an electromagnetic field in the plasma chamber as the RF signal is applied; a second electromagnetic inducer installed at another portion of the plasma chamber and inducing an electromagnetic field in the plasma chamber as the RF signal is applied; a first load connected to the first electromagnetic inducer; a second load connected to the second electromagnetic inducer; and a controller controlling a power supplied to the first electromagnetic inducer and the second electromagnetic inducer by adjusting at least one impedance of the first load and the second load.
