PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a spark plug for an internal combustion engine capable of fully preventing generation of noises at the time of detection of ion current, and to provide a manufacturing method for the spark plug. SOLUTION: The spark plug for the internal combustion engine 1 includes a center electrode 2, an insulator 3 which penetrates and holds the center electrode 2 in the inside, a housing 4 which penetrates and holds the insulator 3 inside, and a ground electrode 5 which is jointed to the housing 4 and forms a spark discharge gap 11 between the center electrode 2. A conducting thin film 61 is formed, on at least a part of the outer circumferential face 31 of the insulator 3 that is opposed to the inner circumferential face 41 of the housing 4. A frame electrode 62, having a thickness larger than the conducting thin film 61, is formed along the direction, having an axial direction component of the spark plug 1. The conducting thin film 61 and the frame electrode 62 are electrically connected to the housing 4. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
