Abstract
A plasma source includes a gas flow channel formed therein and an electrode which is fed with electric power or grounded to be maintained at a controlled electric potential and a surface of the plasma source including an opening portion of a first gas ejecting port can be placed in parallel to a position at which a to-be-processed object can be placed. The plasma source is connected to a first gas supplying device through a gas supplying portand has a multi-layer construction that is constituted from two or more layers. Gas flow channels within the multi-layer construction include buffer spaces and at least one space cross-sectional area parallel to the opening cross-sectional area of the first gas ejecting ports, out of the cross-sectional areas of the buffer spaces, is greater than the opening cross-sectional area of the first gas ejecting ports.
