The plasma generating unit 20 may select a jet pipe, one end of which communicates with an external gas supply device and the other end of which has an opening through which generated plasma flows out.

In this embodiment, the position information of the object 200 to be sterilized may be two-dimensional coordinate information or three-dimensional plane information. When the position information of the object to be sterilized 200 is two-dimensional coordinate information, the plasma generating unit 20 may be driven to move in a certain plane by the driving unit 30 according to the two-dimensional coordinate information, so that the surface of the object to be sterilized 200 facing the plasma generating unit 20 is sterilized.
