The method manufactures a hermetic sealing lid member used for an electronic component housing package including an electronic component arrangement member on which an electronic component is arranged. The method includes forming a clad material in which a silver brazing layer that contains Ag and Cu and a first Fe layer arranged on the silver brazing layer and made of Fe or an Fe alloy are bonded to each other by roll-bonding a silver brazing plate that contains Ag and Cu and a first Fe plate made of Fe or an Fe alloy to each other and performing first heat treatment for diffusion annealing; softening the clad material by performing second heat treatment; and forming the hermetic sealing lid member in a box shape including a recess portion by bending the softened clad material.
