A dielectric-coated electrode having a conductive base material coated
with a dielectric on a surface thereof, the dielectric including a first
metal atom and a second metal atom. As for an ionic strength of the first
metal atom and an ionic strength of the second metal atom according to a
dynamic SIMS measurement, the ionic strength of the second metal atom is
larger than the ionic strength of the first metal atom from the most
surface of the dielectric toward a predetermined depth of the dielectric,
and the ionic strength of the first metal atom is larger than the ionic
strength of the second metal atom from the predetermined depth toward the
surface of the conductive base material.
