Abstract
A neural probe structure includes a probe which is inserted into a living body, and a magnetic field inductor which is formed in the probe, wherein when a power source is supplied, the magnetic field inductor generates a magnetic field and applies magnetic stimulation to a target site of the living body into which the probe is inserted. A method for manufacturing the neural probe structure includes forming a first pattern on a first substrate and filling the first pattern with a conductor, stacking a second substrate on the first substrate, and forming a second pattern connected to the first pattern on the second substrate and filling the second pattern with a conductor, wherein the first substrate and the second substrate form the probe, and the conductor of the first pattern and the conductor of the second pattern form the magnetic field inductor.
