In this way, by providing the first bore section 11 and the second bore section 12 with different diameters, the plunger element 20 with the same diameter can be provided, so as to form the buffer cavity 102 with a larger diameter and the annular aperture 101 with a smaller diameter, so that the processing and installation operations of the plunger element 20 are simpler, the manufacturing cost is further reduced, and the practicability of the embodiment is improved.

Specifically, the preset threshold may be specifically set according to the potential difference for generating the hollow cathode discharge in the annular aperture 101, and the potential difference for generating the hollow cathode discharge in the annular aperture 101 is mainly related to the radio frequency voltage and the gas type. For example, when the two gases introduced are octafluorocyclobutane and sulfur hexafluoride, respectively, and under a certain radio frequency voltage, the critical condition for generating the hollow cathode discharge is that the radial distance of the annular gap 101 is 0.8mm, the radial distance of the annular gap 101 may be set to be less than 0.8mm, and the preset threshold may be less than or equal to 0.8mm.
