Abstract
A plurality of trench grooves (8) are formed on a first electrode (6) of a gas generation device (1), and a discharge space (12) formed between a first electrode surface (7) and a second electrode surface (11) is connected to a gas introducing space (17) for introducing material gas through a material gas supply inlet (4). A ratio P/D of a pitch P of the trench grooves (8) to a diameter D of the first electrode (6) is set at 0.0020 to 0.0150, and a ratio VT/VG of a volume VT of a trench space formed by the trench grooves (8) to a volume VG of the gas introducing space (17) is set at 0.016 to 0.203.
