Problems solved by technology

The plasma uniformity of most microwave electron cyclotron resonance devices in the prior art is not ideal. The main reason is that microwave electron cyclotron resonance mostly uses 2.45GHz microwaves in TE10 mode, after passing through the waveform converter from TE10 mode to TE11 mode Converted to TE11 mode and then coupled into cylindrical resonant cavity through microwave window, or directly coupled into cylindrical resonant cavity through waveguide window to become TE11 mode

However, the transverse electric fields corresponding to the TE10 mode and the TE11 mode are not uniform, resulting in poor uniformity of the generated plasma.
