Abstract

See full text

A probe for non-destructive determination of complex permittivity of a material and for near field optical microscopy is based on a balanced multi-conductor transmission line structure created on a dielectric substrate member which confines the probing field within a sharply defined sampling volume in the material under study. A method for manufacturing dielectric support member based probes includes anisotropically depositing a 50-100 .ANG. thick underlayer of Cr, Ni, W or Ta onto the dielectric support member, anisotropically depositing conductive material onto the Cr, Ni, W or Ta underlayer, and removing the unwanted conductive material at the sides of the dielectric support member to electrically isolate the created conductive strips.
