A sharpened metallic probe having a top of main body including a carbon-containing metal and a method and an apparatus for fabricating the metallic probe. A metallic probe with an extremely sharpened tip is obtained by inducing a field emission from the tip of the main body of the metallic probe where a nanotube is joined thereto, heating and melting locally the tip of the main body of the metallic probe by a Joule heating, and tearing the nanotube toward a counter electrode by a Coulomb attractive force.
