Abstract
In an ion generation apparatus, induction electrodes are formed on a surface of a substrate, holes are provided inside the induction electrodes, respectively, needle electrodes are disposed in a substrate, and tip end portions of the needle electrodes are inserted into the holes, respectively. Furthermore, a part of each of the induction electrodes is removed, thereby reducing the size of the substrate for entire size reduction. By such a configuration, it becomes possible to provide an ion generation apparatus that can stably generate ions even in a high humidity environment and that can be mounted also in small-sized electrical equipment.
