Abstract

A structure is provided such that a plural cantilevers are formed on a first board formed of silicon, probes are respectively formed on the individual cantilevers at positions each offset perpendicularly to a longitudinal center line of the cantilever, and wiring connected continuously from each probe to a secondary electrode pad portion through an insulating layer. A structure is alternatively adopted such that by using a both-ends supported beam formed of silicon as the beam, each probe is formed at a position offset toward a supported portion side of the both-ends supported beam.
