ABSTRACT:
The high-frequency electric field is subjected to pulse modulation for 10 to 100 .mu.sec; the rise time of pulse is controlled to be not shorter than 2 .mu.sec but not longer than 50 .mu.sec; and the descent time of pulse is controlled to be not shorter than 10 .mu.sec but not longer than .phi..mu.sec. Thereby, the electron temperature in plasma is controlled at 2 eV or lower and the fluctuation of the density of negative ion in plasma is controlled at 20% or smaller.
