ABSTRACT:
Pulsated microwaves are supplied to a wave guide tube from a microwave generation unit through a matching circuit. The microwaves are supplied through an inner conductor to a planar antenna member. The microwaves are radiated from the planar antenna member through a microwave transmission plate into space above a wafer within a chamber. An electromagnetic field is formed in the chamber by pulsated microwaves radiated into the chamber from the planar antenna member through the microwave transmission plate, turning an Ar gas, H2gas and O2gas into plasma to form an oxide film on the wafer.
