FIELD: plasma equipment, microelectronics. SUBSTANCE: method involves inducing traveling electromagnetic wave in microwave plasma source with electron-cyclotron resonance in at least two modes with identical azimuthal values, for example, H11 and E11. Then, method involves application of longitudinal permanent magnetic field, which intensity corresponds to electron-cyclotron resonance, and controlling three-dimensional distribution of plasma density by means of alteration of phase difference between said wave modes. EFFECT: increased control range. 1 dwg
