A discharge gas and an accelerated electrons are introduced into the ion generation chamber, causing the accelerated electrons to collide against the discharge gas to generate a plasma containing ions in the ion generation chamber. The housing includes an ion extraction port through which the ions are extracted from the ion generation chamber outside the housing and an electron reflecting member exposed in the ion generation chamber to reflect the electrons.
