Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising:
cutting a carrier substrate to form a probe contour, the probe contour comprising at least one probe tip and a probe body, wherein the carrier substrate comprises a conductive layer which is formed on the carrier substrate;
forming the at least one probe tip by cutting the carrier substrate to provide a respective protrusion in a first plane that includes a plane of extension of the carrier substrate, wherein forming the at least one probe tip comprises at least one of laser cutting or milling a height profile comprising more than one height steps of the respective protrusion in the carrier substrate in a second plane that is orthogonal to the first plane; and
metallizing a surface of the at least one probe tip of the probe contour such that a resulting metallization layer completely covers the probe tip, wherein the resulting metallization layer directly contacts an opposite side of the conductive layer of the probe tip.
