This MEMS structure (1) comprises: a substrate (2); a supporting portion (3) disposed on the substrate (2); a fixed electrode (10) fixed on the substrate (2); a movable portion (30) disposed to be separated from the fixed electrode (10); a torsion bar (31) that connects the supporting portion (3) and the movable portion (30) and that pivotally supports the movable portion (30) at one end of the movable portion (30); a ceiling portion (50) that is spaced away from the movable portion (30) by a gap and that covers the movable portion (30); and an opposing electrode (52) that is disposed on the ceiling portion (50) and that faces the fixed electrode (10) across the movable portion (30).
