The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a probe for
detecting surface signals or chemical signals through a long and slender
rod-shaped nano structure such as tungsten nanowire, carbon nanotube,
boron nanotube, etc., being attached to a tip end portion thereof.
According to the method, a holder, acting as the probe, including a first
electrode to which the rod-shaped nano structure is attached, and a
second electrode at a predetermined distance from the first electrode are
partially or fully immersed in a solution containing the rod-shaped
structure. When a voltage is applied between two electrodes, an
electrical field is generated, and the rod-shaped nano structure is
attached to the holder, acting as the probe.
