Abstract

In the present invention, disclosed are a cantilever microstructure and a fabrication thereof comprising a base plate; a cantilever beam extended from one surface of the base plate to outside so that a part thereof can be suspended, and formed of a silicon nitride material, and a probing tip formed at a front end of one surface of the cantilever beam, whereby the thickness of the cantilever beam becomes uniform and the mechanical and electrical characteristic thereof are improved.
