Abstract
An apparatus and a method for producing fine particles includes a vacuum chamber, a material feeding device connected to the vacuum chamber and feeding material particles into the vacuum chamber from material feeing ports, and a plurality of electrodes connected to the vacuum chamber. Tip ends of the electrodes protrude into the vacuum chamber to generate plasma, and a collecting device is connected to the vacuum chamber and collects fine particles. The electrodes generate discharge inside the vacuum chamber and produce the fine particles from the material. The material feeding ports of the material feeding device are arranged in a lower side than (below) the plural electrodes in the vertical direction in the vacuum chamber.
