La présente invention concerne un dispositif de traitement par plasma apte à la mise en forme du plasma grâce à une régulation du champ magnétique. Le dispositif comprend : une chambre à vide présentant un espace interne formé en son sein, un substrat étant monté dans l'espace interne ; une antenne située sur la partie supérieure de la chambre afin de générer un plasma dans l'espace interne de la chambre ; une unité de génération de champ magnétique qui comprend une première unité de génération de champ magnétique, disposée sur la partie intérieure de la chambre et qui comprend au moins une bobine d'électroaimant et une seconde unité de génération de champ magnétique, disposée sur une surface latérale de la chambre et qui comprend au moins une bobine d'électroaimant ; et une unité de commande servant à réguler l'entrée de courant dans chacune des bobines d'électroaimant de l'unité de génération de champ magnétique, de manière que, en référence au centre du substrat monté dans la chambre et, dans un espace de plasma efficace à l'intérieur de la chambre, l'intensité du champ magnétique augmente de façon continue en proportion de la distance dans la direction vers l'extérieur dans l'espace horizontal et l'intensité du champ magnétique augmente en proportion de la distance dans la direction vers le haut dans l'espace vertical. Selon la présente invention décrite ci-dessus, l'uniformité du plasma est augmentée dans l'espace interne entier de la chambre de manière qu'un processus de plasma extrêmement fiable puisse être mis en œuvre, même près de la périphérie extérieure du substrat et que le processus de plasma puisse être mis en œuvre de façon plus stable, notamment à l'égard d'un substrat de grande surface.
