An electronic component lead manufacturing method includes irradiating a first laser beam to a second layer with a solder wettability higher than a first layer, the second layer being laminated on the outside of the first layer of the lead used by the electronic component, and exposing the first layer from the second layer based on the irradiating of the first laser beam, and forming a projecting part near a region irradiated by a second laser beam by irradiating the second laser beam to the exposed first layer.
