In one exemplary embodiment, a second waveguide is connected to an upper wall of a first waveguide and communicates with the first waveguide, a dielectric window is in contact with a lower wall of the first waveguide, a first inner conductor penetrates an upper wall, is electrically connected with the upper wall, and extends along the direction of a tube axis from an inside of the first waveguide to an inside of a third waveguide, the third waveguide is connected to the lower wall on the dielectric window side and communicates with the first waveguide, a first opening end of the third waveguide is connected to the dielectric window, and a drive device is connected to the first inner conductor, and is configured to drive the first inner conductor in the direction of the tube axis.

Antenna device, radiation method of electromagnetic waves, plasma processing apparatus, and plasma processing method

An antenna device according to an exemplary embodiment radiates electromagnetic waves. In the antenna device, a dielectric window is in contact with a lower wall of a first waveguide, the first waveguide is provided between the dielectric window and a second waveguide and extends in a direction crossing a tube axis of the second waveguide, a dispersion part in the first waveguide disperses the electromagnetic waves in the first waveguide, two inner conductors disposed at different distances from the tube axis and connected to the dielectric window include coaxial conversion parts which cause propagation of the electromagnetic waves dispersed by the dispersion part to direct to the dielectric window side, a body length of the inner conductor most distant from the tube axis, out of body lengths of the two inner conductors, is longer, and a front surface of the dielectric window does not have irregularities.
