Abstract

A MEMS device includes a mirror substrate (200), an electrode substrate (301) arranged so as to face the mirror substrate (200), a mirror (230) serving as a movable member rotatably supported in an opening portion of the mirror substrate (200) via support members, a driving electrode (101) arranged on an insulating film (104) on a surface of the electrode substrate (301) facing the mirror substrate (200) so as to face the mirror (230) across a gap and drive the mirror (230), and a lower electrode (103) made of a metal or a semiconductor and formed under the insulating film (104) exposed to the gap so as to be in contact with the insulating film (104).
