Abstract
A wavelength-tunable interference filter includes: a first substrate where a first mirror and a first electrode are provided; a second substrate where a second mirror corresponding to the first mirror and a second electrode facing the first electrode are provided; and a bonding part bonding the first substrate and the second substrate together. The first substrate includes a moving part where the first mirror is arranged, a diaphragm part holding the moving part in such a way that the moving part is movable in the Z-direction, and an outer circumferential part provided outside of the diaphragm part. The diaphragm part includes a planar part having a uniform thickness, and a first slope part having a thickness in the Z-direction incrementing as it goes from the planar part toward the outer circumferential part. The first electrode is provided over a range from the planar part to the first slope part. An outer edge of the first electrode, which is an edge opposite to the first mirror, is located at the first slope part. The bonding part is provided over a range from a part of the first slope part to the outer circumferential part.
