Abstract

A method for manufacturing a probe structure is disclosed. In accordance with the method, two semiconductor substrates having different crystal directions are bonded and selectively etched utilizing an etch selectivity due to the different crystal directions to form a probe tip region and a probe beam region. A cantilever structure for a probe card is formed by filling the probe tip region and the probe beam region with a conductive material.
