The semiconductor probe includes a resistive tip and a cantilever having an end portion on which the resistive tip is located. The resistive tip doped with a first impurity includes a resistive region formed at a peak of the resistive tip and lightly doped with a second impurity opposite in polarity to the first impurity, and first and second semiconductor electrode regions formed on inclined surfaces of the resistive tip and heavily doped with the second impurity. The height of the resistive tip is less than the radius of the resistive tip. Accordingly, the spatial resolution of the semiconductor probe is improved.

A ferroelectric recording medium and a writing method for the same are provided. The ferroelectric recording medium includes a ferroelectric layer which reverses its polarization when receiving a predetermined coercive voltage. A nonvolatile anisotrophic conduction layer is formed on the ferroelectric layer. A resistance of the anisotrophic conduction layer decreases when receiving a first voltage lower than the coercive voltage, and the resistance of the anisotrophic conduction layer increases when receiving a second voltage higher than the coercive voltage. Multi-bit information is stored by a combination of polarization states of the ferroelectric layer and the resistance of the anisotrophic conduction layer. Accordingly, multiple bits can be expressed on one domain of the ferroelectric recording medium.
