Abstract: In a method for manufacturing a micro vibration body having a three-dimensional curved surface, a mold defining a recess part is prepared, and a plate-shaped reflow material is arranged on the mold so as to cover the recess part. Pressure of a space defined by the recess part covered with the reflow material is reduced, and the reflow material is deformed by heating from an upper surface side opposite to a lower surface facing the recess part and by means of the pressure reduced. When the reflow material is deformed, a part of the mold is heated and / or cooled. As another example, when the reflow material is deformed, a mold having a different heat capacity portion is used to generate a temperature gradient in the mold.
