PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a manufacturing method for providing a near-field light generation element capable of heightening light utilization efficiency, facilitating extremely highly accurate alignment between a beam supplied to the near-field light generation element and a minute opening or omitting the necessity of the alignment, and being manufactured in mass production at low cost, in an optical memory device, an observation device or the like using near-field light. SOLUTION: This manufacturing method of the near-field light generation element comprises a light guiding structure manufacturing process 101, a projecting shape manufacturing beam irradiation process 102 for irradiating a projecting shape manufacturing beam from a different face from the face where a projecting shape is to be manufactured, a projecting shape manufacturing process 201, and a minute opening manufacturing process 105. |
