A manufacturing apparatus, including: two electrodes whose forwardmost end
portions are opposed to each other; a power supply which applies a
voltage between the electrodes in order to generate discharge plasma in a
discharge area between the electrodes; and plural magnets that form a
magnetic field in the generation area of the discharge plasma by
generating a magnetic field from a magnetic pole surface of each of the
plural magnets that are arranged to have the magnetic pole surfaces
thereof opposed to one imaginary axis within a space; and of the two
electrodes, at least a part of one electrode is located in an area
surrounded by: an imaginary plane formed by connecting end portions of
the magnetic pole surfaces of the plural magnets on one side in a
direction of the imaginary axis.
