ABSTRACT:
A plasma processing apparatus that generates a uniform plasma, thus allowing uniform processing of large-diameter wafers. The cylindrical apparatus includes a wafer mounting table, a silica plate providing an airtight seal, a microwave supplier for propagating a microwave in TE11 mode, and a cylindrical waveguide connected at one end to the microwave supplier. A radial waveguide box is connected between the other end of the cylindrical waveguide and the silica plate. The radial waveguide box extends radially outward from the cylindrical waveguide, forming a flange and defining an interior waveguide space. A disc-shaped slot antenna is located at the lower end of the radial waveguide box, above the silica plate. A circularly-polarized wave converter disposed in the cylindrical waveguide rotates the TE11-mode microwave about the axis of the cylindrical waveguide, and sends the rotating microwave to the radial waveguide box.
