Abstract:
1. A structure fabricating method of plastically deforming a target portion of a substrate, to thereby fabricate a structure having an inclined segment that is inclined relative to a principal surface of the substrate, the method including: forming a projection on the target portion to project from the principal surface of the substrate or from an opposing surface of the substrate on the side opposite to the principal surface; and applying a force to the projection to plastically deform the target portion such that the target portion is bent in a direction from one surface of the substrate on the side where the projection is formed, toward another surface on the side opposite to the one surface, wherein the structure has at least two target portions, and wherein at least one of the projections formed on the target portions is provided on one of the principal surface of the substrate and the opposing surface of the substrate, and the remaining one or more projections are provided on the other of the two surfaces.
