Abstract: A metal including a passivation film 33a with a thickness of 10 nm or more is used as a metal electrode (a focus cup electrode 33) for generating an electric filed in a vacuum. The focus cup electrode 33 is made of stainless steel. The stainless steel is immersed in a treatment solution to perform coating (passivation treatment) . Accordingly, the passivation film 33a can be formed to be thicker than 10 nm. In this manner, the passivation film 33a is thicker than 10 nm. Therefore, the surface is uniform, and the adhesion is excellent, and the number of pinholes is small. Accordingly, the withstand voltage performance can be improved.
