Patent ID: 7671616

Claim:
A semiconductor probe having a high resolution embossed resistive tip comprising: a protrusion portion protruded on a cantilever to a predetermined height, wherein a top surface of the protrusion portion is parallel to a surface of the cantilever; an embossed resistive tip formed on the protrusion portion; and first and second semiconductor electrode regions formed at opposite sides of the embossed resistive tip at the protrusion portion, wherein the cantilever is doped with a first dopant, the first and second semiconductor electrode regions and the embossed resistive tip are doped with a second dopant having a different polarity from the first dopant, and the embossed resistive tip is doped with a concentration lower than the first and second semiconductor electrode regions, wherein the embossed resistive tip is a rectangular column having a width of 100 nm or less, and wherein the embossed resistive tip is not doped with the first dopant.
