摘要： Disclosed are a plasma generator and a workpiece processing apparatus, wherein an adapter 38 is attached to a distal end of each of a plurality of plasma generation nozzles 31 to convert a spot-shaped spout port of the plasma generation nozzle 31 to a lengthwise sport port 387, and a cover member 93 is provided to cover the plasma generation nozzles 31 so as to allow a narrow space to be defined between the cover member 93 and a workpiece, whereby plasma spouted from the spout port 387 is retained in the space in such a manner as to hit against and rebound from the workpiece into the space. This makes it possible to subject a workpiece having a relatively large surface area to plasma exposure in a uniform manner, while suppressing cooling of plasma in the space to allow the plasma to survive for a relatively long period of time (reduce a plasma disappearance rate) so as to provide enhanced efficiency of plasma exposure.

摘要： By focusing on the fact that nitrogen dioxide exhibits an increased sterilizing effect among other sterilant gases including nitrogen oxide, the present invention is made to provide a sterilization method which may be suitably used for sterilizing items to be sterilized such as medical instruments which require increased reliability by using a high concentration NO2 gas of 5,000 ppm or above, for example. An inside of a sterilizing chamber containing an item to be sterilized is humidified, and a concentration of NO2 in the sterilizing chamber is made to be from 9 to 100 mg/L by filling a high concentration NO2 gas.
