Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a contact probe, comprising an electroforming process for forming a metal layer (526) by performing an electroforming so as to fill clearances in a resist film (522) by using the resist film (522)as a pattern frame having a shape matching the contact probe disposed on a substrate (521), a tip working process for sharpening the area of the metal layer (526) forming the tip end part of the contact probe by diagonally cutting out the area, and a retrieval process for retrieving only the metal layer (526) from the pattern frame.
