Claim:
1. A method of fabricating a test probe, the method comprising: providing a first conductive member formed of a conductive metal material, the first conductive member comprising a probe portion that has a probe shape and is formed in an upper portion of the first conductive member by a micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) process; providing a second conductive member formed of a conductive metal material, the second conductive member having an insertion portion formed in an upper portion of the second conductive member for inserting the first conductive member to be coupled to the insertion portion; inserting the first conductive member into the insertion portion of the second conductive member; and fixedly coupling the first conductive member to the second conductive member by deforming a part of the second conductive member, wherein the first conductive member comprises an upper conductive portion having a circular plate shape and having the probe portion on an upper end surface, and a lower conductive portion integrally formed at a lower side of the upper conductive portion and having a circular plate shape, the lower conductive portion having a diameter greater than that of the upper conductive portion.
