Abstract
A plasma reactor includes a chamber, a specimen such as a wafer or the like supported in the chamber, a device for generating a plasma in the chamber, and at least one electromagnetic coil disposed coaxially around the chamber. The specimen is supported parallel to a magnetic field generated by the electromagnetic coil. High-density and high-energy charged particles in the plasma collide perpendicularly with the surface of the specimen to treat the specimen by way of etching or the like.
