A micromaching process to fabricate a single chip that simply drops into a supporting structure. The micromaching process provides the ability to create a probe that will interface with integrated circuits, for example, operating at frequencies in the range of about 100GHz to about 3,000 GHz (3 THz). This approach creates a silicon structure (or other applicable choice of material) that provides mechanical force for probing while supporting the transfer of the high frequency energy between a measurement system and the integrated circuit, individual device or material.
