ABSTRACT:
A cantilever chip for scanning probe microscope includes a cantilever portion, a probe portion formed at a free end of the cantilever portion, a mirror portion formed on the cantilever portion on a side opposite to a side where the probe portion is formed, and a support portion for supporting the proximal end of the cantilever portion. A step is formed between the cantilever portion and the support portion, so that the support portion is set back from the surface of the cantilever portion on the side where the probe portion is formed.
