As shown in Fig. 2 the first direction length L1 in first antenna portion 130 is formed as the second party than the second antenna part 140
It is short to length L2.The second direction length L2 of the first direction length L1 in first antenna portion 130 and the second antenna part 140 ratio
Can be 1:1.2 to 1:Between 1.8.
So as to four formed by a pair of first antenna portions 130, a pair of second antenna parts 140 and four third antenna portions 150
Angular to turn into rectangle, first antenna portion 130 can be located at the short brink of rectangle, and the second antenna part can be located at rectangle with 140
Long side.
In order to more effectively be handled the substrate S of rectangle, the plasma distribution in preferred process room is same overall
It is upper that there is the rectangular shape similar with substrate S-shaped shape.
Therefore, participation generation is made corresponding to the first antenna portion 130 of the plasma of substrate S fringe region and second day
The length in line portion 140, the outline shape of antenna 100 is set to form rectangle on the whole.
Fig. 3 is the stereogram in the first antenna portion for the antenna for representing Fig. 2.
As shown in figure 3, first antenna portion 130 by first antenna wire along with parallel to first direction D1 and second direction D2
Imaginary plane P 1, the vertical radially winding curls of P2 and formed.
More particularly, first antenna wire is in the first virtual plane parallel to first direction D1 and second direction D2
Continuously vertically bent to form first antenna portion 130 between P1 and the second plane P2.

Wire 133a, 133b, 133c, 133d.
Three wires 131a, 131b, 131c on the first plane P1 are formed as linear in being parallel to each other.Although
Two wires 132a, 132b on the second plane P2 be similarly formed as it is linear in being parallel to each other, but can be with the
The position of three wire 131a, 131b, 131c obliques on one plane P1.
In fig. 2, three wires 131a, 131b, 131c on the first plane P1 are indicated by the solid line, flat positioned at second
Two wires 132a, 132b on the P2 of face are represented by dashed line.
As shown in Fig. 2 one end of first antenna wire, formed with the first power input end 130a, the other end is formed with first
Power output end 130b.A part in the RF power supplied by high frequency electric source 72 is applied by the first power input end 130a
Flowed out after to first antenna wire by the first power output end 130b.
In the present embodiment, carried out by taking the first antenna portion 130 enclosed and formed by first antenna Wire-wound two as an example
Illustrate, but the windings of first antenna wire can be changed according to embodiment.For example, work as first antenna Wire-wound
When one circle forms first antenna portion 130, the wire on the first plane P1 can be two, leading on the second plane P2
Line can be one.Or when the windings of first antenna wire are more than two circles, the wire on the first plane P1 can
