Claim 22:
23. The microwave heating apparatus according to claim 22, wherein the cavity resonator is a cavity resonator including a cylindrical microwave irradiation space, in which a standing wave in TMn10 (n is an integer of one or more) mode or TE10n (n is an integer of 1 or more) mode where the magnetic field strength is uniform and maximum along a cylinder central axis is formed,
wherein the cavity resonator includes:
an inlet disposed in a barrel portion wall of the cavity resonator, through which a base where the object to be heated that is transferred into the microwave irradiation space is disposed passes; and
an outlet disposed in the barrel portion wall of the cavity resonator, through which the base that is transferred out from the microwave irradiation space passes,
wherein the transfer mechanism is configured to transfer the base in from the inlet and transfer the base out from the outlet through the magnetic field region where the magnetic field strength is maximum, and
wherein at least a part in a major axis direction of a thin film pattern of the object to be heated disposed on the base is set at an angle equal to or greater than 45 degrees and equal to or less than 90 degrees with respect to an oscillation direction of the magnetic field generated in the magnetic field region, and the base is caused to pass through the magnetic field region, whereby the thin film pattern is heated.
