Abstract:
Methods of fabricating a probe are described. In an example, a structure may be formed on a surface of a substrate. The structure may include the probe, a hinge, and an anchor arranged linearly, where an angle is formed between the probe and the hinge. The hinge may be positioned between the probe and the anchor, and the structure may be parallel to the substrate. An amount of solder may be deposited on an area of the structure that spans from a portion of the probe to a portion of the anchor, and across the hinge. The deposited solder may be reshaped by an execution of a solder reflow process. The reshape of the deposited solder may cause the probe to rotate about the hinge in order to reduce the angle between the probe and the hinge.
