A capacitance type transducer includes a plurality of cells each having a structure in which a vibrating film is supposed so as to be vibrated. The vibrating film includes: a second electrode formed so that a gap is interposed between the second electrode and a first electrode; and an insulating film formed on the second electrode. The capacitance transducer manufacturing method includes: forming a sacrificial layer on the first electrode; forming a layer including a vibrating film on the sacrificial layer; forming an etching hole to remove the sacrificial layer; and forming a sealing film for sealing the etching hole. Before forming the etching hole to remove the sacrificial layer, a through hole is formed in an insulating film on the second electrode, and a conductor film is formed on the insulating film having the through hole to electrically connect a conductor in the through hole and the second electrode.
