Abstract

A method for producing a contact structure having a contactor for achieving an electrical connection with a contact target. The method include the steps of providing a substrate, forming a polymer layer on a surface of the dielectric substrate, positioning a micromachining tool over the first abrasive layer and irradiating a beam of electro-thermal energy on a surface of the polymer layer to form a deposition pattern thereon, depositing conductive material in the deposition pattern on the polymer layer thereby forming a horizontal portion of the contactor, and repeating the above steps, thereby forming a contact portion of the contactor in a vertical direction on one end of the horizontal portion.
