Abstract

A carbon thin line probe having a carbon thin line selectively formed at a projection-like terminal end portion thereof by means of an irradiation of high-energy beam, the carbon thin line internally containing a metal. Thereby achieved is a carbon thin line probe suitable for example for the probe of SPM cantilever, which has a high aspect ratio and high durability and reliability, capability of batch processing based on a simple manufacturing method, and to which magnetic characteristic can be imparted.
