  • Patent number: 11651944
    Abstract: A treatment method performed by a film processing apparatus including: a first discharge electrode unit and a second discharge electrode unit respectively including magnets that form a magnetic field; and an AC power source capable of alternately switching polarities of the first discharge electrode unit and the second discharge electrode unit. In the treatment method, a predetermined surface treatment of a film F is performed by generating a plasma P while alternately switching polarities of the first discharge electrode unit and the second discharge electrode unit by using high-frequency power supplied from the AC power source.
