Title:
SPM SENSOR AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3859614
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a SPM sensor based on a conventional technology, and to provide a method for manufacturing the improved SPM sensor.
SOLUTION: The SPM sensor is manufactured and has a cantilever, a holding element at one end of the cantilever and a sensor chip at the other end of the cantilever. The holding element is made of a photoresist. The cantilever and/or the sensor chip are made of the other material. The photoresist is preferably SU-8, and the other material is preferably silicon, a silicon compound or metals. The manufacturing method also consists of manufacture of a frame having a plurality of SPM sensors. The frame, a holding part and at least the holding element consists of SU-8. The SPM sensor can be manufactured at low cost, and the sensor can be used with the frame disassembled.
