摘要

An effective voltage V' effectively applied to a gap 7 during an "activation step" is controlled to a desired value. In the "activation step", a voltage is repeatedly applied between a first electroconductive film 4 a and a second electroconductive film 4 b while controlling voltages outputted from a voltage source 51 so that a value beta_effect becomes a desired value.
