An exhaust pipe device according to an embodiment includes a dielectric pipe; a radio-frequency electrode; a ground electrode; and a plasma generation circuit. The radio-frequency electrode is disposed on an outer periphery side of the dielectric pipe and a radio-frequency voltage is applied to the radio-frequency electrode. The ground electrode is disposed on an end portion side of the dielectric pipe such that a distance from the radio-frequency electrode is smaller on an inner side than on an outer side of the dielectric pipe, and a ground potential is applied to the ground electrode. The plasma generation circuit generates plasma inside the dielectric pipe. The exhaust pipe device functions as a part of an exhaust pipe disposed between a film forming chamber and a vacuum pump that exhausts gas inside the film forming chamber.
