    摘要: A workpiece processing apparatus S, which comprises: a plasma generator unit 6 including a plasma generation section 18 operable to plasmatize a given gas supplied thereto, and emit the plasmatized gas therefrom; and a transport mechanism 2 adapted to support a target workpiece W in a position beneath the plasma generation section 18, wherein the plasmatized gas is emitted onto the workpiece W to carry out a given processing. The workpiece processing apparatus S further includes a setup frame 4 adapted to set up the plasma generator unit 6 to allow the plasma generation section 18 to be located over the workpiece. The plasma generator unit 6 is mounted to the setup frame 4 in a manner capable of being drawn out of a setup position where the plasma generation section 18 is positioned over the workpiece W, in a horizontal direction.

    摘要: Disclosed is a plasma generation apparatus, which comprises a microwave generation section adapted to generate a microwave, a gas supply section adapted to supply a gas to be plasmatized, a plasma generation nozzle which is provided with an inner electrode adapted to receive the microwave and an outer electrode concentrically disposed outside the inner electrode, and adapted to plasmatize the gas supplied from the gas supply section thereinto, based on energy of the microwave, and emit the plasmatized gas from a distal end thereof; and an adapter attached to the distal end of the plasma generation nozzle. In the plasma generation apparatus, the inner and outer electrodes of the plasma generation nozzle are disposed to allow a glow discharge to be induced therebetween so as to plasmatize the gas in a space defined therebetween, and, according to a new supply of the gas into the space, emit the plasmatized gas under atmospheric pressures from a ring-shaped spout of the space in the distal end of the plasma generation nozzle. The adapter is adapted to convert the ring-shaped spout to a lengthwise spout thereof.

    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.
