    Abstract: Improved probe arrays (e.g. buckling beam arrays) are formed using probe preforms that have desired array spacings but not intended individual probe configurations. Groups of preforms are engaged with one or more deformation plates that cause permanent (i.e. plastic) deformation of the probe preforms to provide probe from deformed probe preforms with desired probe configurations where at least part of the deformation of multiple probe preforms occur simultaneously and where multiple deformations of individual probe preforms may occur in parallel or in series and where deformation is provided by substantially lateral displacement of the one or more deformation plates relative to a permanent or temporary array substrate or one or more different deformation plates. In some variations, the substantial lateral displacement may be accompanied by longitudinal shifting as necessary to accommodate for change in relative longitudinal positioning as lateral displacement occurs.

    Abstract: Probe array formation embodiments of the invention (e.g., that are used to form full arrays or multi-probe subarrays that are to be assembled into full arrays) provide simultaneous formation of many probes of an array or subarray while the probes are in an array configuration. These embodiments provide for the creation and deformation of array formation templates that include holes or openings for depositing probe material wherein the openings are either fully formed (i.e. fully actualized) prior to deformation or are latently formed by chemical or structural changes to the template material
