Abstract:
A method for producing a piezoelectric/electrostrictive device comprising:a pair of mutually opposing thin plate sections, a movable section, and a fixation section for supporting said thin plate sections and said movable section; one or more piezoelectric/electrostrictive elements arranged on at least one thin plate section of said pair of thin plate sections; and a hole formed by both inner walls of said pair of thin plate sections, an inner wall of said movable section, and an inner wall of said fixation section, said method comprising: a step of forming said movable section or said fixation section having mutually opposing end surfaces by cutting off a predetermined part of any one of a portion to be formed into said movable section or a portion to be formed into said fixation section after producing at least said piezoelectric/electrostrictive element.
