A microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition apparatus allows the position of a plasma to be two-dimensionally adjusted in a reaction tube. A second plunger 9 (plunger assembly 8) is disposed on an H plane of a microwave waveguide 2a connected to a microwave oscillator 1 adjacent to an end 2b of the microwave waveguide 2a in facing relationship to a reaction region 7. The plunger 9 is actuated to move the plasma also in a direction perpendicular to the direction of travel of a microwave in the microwave waveguide 2a for two-dimensionally adjusting the position of the plasma. Using the microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition apparatus, a diamond film having a uniform quality and a uniform thickness is formed as on a substrate.
