Abstract: A method of constructing a probe which includes providing a substrate and creating a first substantially asymmetrical recess within the substrate. A conductive material is located within the recess and a conductive trace is electrically connected with the conductive material. A membrane supports the conductive trace, wherein the conductive material is located between the membrane and the substrate. The substrate is removed from the conductive material.
