Abstract
A microwave plasma treatment device includes a resonator including a container; a single microwave oscillation source that outputs a reference microwave; a waveguide that connects the microwave oscillation source and the resonator to each other; and a phase control mechanism that generates a modified microwave having a phase different from a phase of the reference microwave by controlling the phase of the reference microwave. The resonator includes one or more first-type introducing portions for introducing the reference microwave into the resonator and one or more second-type introducing portions for introducing the modified microwave into the resonator, and the microwave plasma treatment device is configured such that at least one of a position, a size, and a shape of a plasma ball generated in the container is changed by superimposing the modified microwave on the reference microwave in the resonator.
