- the positive electrode side of the DC power supply 24 is grounded.
- Chamber 12 is grounded.
- the DC power supply 24 can be variably adjusted, for example, to a voltage of 100 to 2000V.
- the internal pressure of the chamber 12 is reduced within the above pressure range, a gas is introduced from the gas introducing unit 14, and the negative potential of the DC power supply 24 is applied to the cylindrical electrode 20. Then, plasma is generated inside each cylindrical electrode 20, and the gas is decomposed. As a result, a film is formed on the surface of the conductor wire 22.
- the plasma can be confined at a uniform density and a high density without leaking plasma inside each cylindrical electrode. it can.
- the plurality of cylindrical electrodes 20 in FIG. 14 are independently connected to each other and the insides thereof communicate with each other, and are arranged side by side. However, as shown in FIG. The units may be juxtaposed in communication with each other.
- the cylindrical electrodes may be circular in cross section, polygonal in cross section, oval in cross section, and other cross sectional shapes, and a large number of them may be disposed in the chamber.
- the conductive wire 22 is disposed in each of the cylindrical electrodes 20, and plasma is generated in each of the cylindrical electrodes 20 and the gas is introduced into the inside of the cylindrical electrodes 20.
- a high quality film can be formed on the entire surface of the conductive wire 22 with a uniform film thickness. As a result, it can contribute to mass production of products using the conductive wire 22.
- FIG. 17 shows still another example of the plasma generator 10 provided with a bias power supply 40.
- the bias power supply 40 has a negative electrode connected to the conductive wire 22 to be formed, and a positive electrode connected to the chamber 12 and grounded.
- FIG. 18 shows the voltage of bias power supply 40 on the horizontal axis and the deposition rate on the surface of conductive wire 22 on the vertical axis. As shown in FIG. 18, the voltage of bias power supply 40 is increased. Accordingly, the deposition rate on the surface of the conductive wire 22 can be increased.
- FIG. 19 shows the voltage of bias power supply 40 on the horizontal axis and the film quality of the film on the surface of conductive wire 22 on the vertical axis, and as shown in FIG.
- the above film quality can be improved by adjusting to the range of 200V.
- the plasma generator according to the present invention can generate a long plasma with respect to a long film formation target, and different types of film formation can be performed by pressure control and gas type selection. It can be carried out.
