A piezoelectric/electrostrictive device has a piezoelectric/electrostrictive element which is formed on a ceramic substrate. The ceramic substrate includes a plate section, a movable section, and a fixed section. The piezoelectric/electrostrictive element has one electrode and the other electrode which are alternately stacked to give a comb-shaped cross section while the one electrode and the other electrode are superimposed with each other with piezoelectric/electrostrictive layers interposing therebetween. The first layer of the piezoelectric/electrostrictive layers includes a first portion of a first piezoelectric/electrostrictive material formed over a region ranging from a part of the thin plate section to a part of the fixed section, and a second portion of a second piezoelectric/electrostrictive material formed on another part of the fixed section.
