To provide an ultrasonic probe, along with a method of manufacturing the ultrasonic probe, capable of providing an ultrasonic image of high definition by reducing the effect of unwanted reflection from a reflecting layer while widening a transmission band of the ultrasonic probe.

In the ultrasonic probe that a reflecting layer is provided on a rear surface of a piezoelectric element, both surfaces of the reflecting layer are parallel to each other and have a smooth tabular surfaces. Such surface of the reflecting layer as contacts to the piezoelectric element has a structure in which a material A whose acoustic impedance value is larger than the piezoelectric element and a material B whose acoustic impedance value is smaller than the piezoelectric element are repeated parallel to each other in a line stripe pattern. The distance in the depth direction from the surface contacting to the piezoelectric element of the reflecting layer of the material A and the distance in the depth direction from the surface contacting to the piezoelectric element of the reflecting layer of the material B are constant respectively in the reflecting layer.
