Multiple layers of the MEMS alloy probe are formed on the substrate in sequences as a first surface layer, a first conductive layer, a core layer, a second conductive layer, and a second surface layer where the width of the first conductive layer is smaller than the one of first surface layer so that all the exposed edges of the first surface layer are not covered by the first conductive layer. The second surface layer is extended from the sidewalls of the core layer to the exposed edges of the first surface layer to encapsulate the core layer, the first conductive layer, and the second conductive layer. The MEMS alloy probe fabricated by the MEMS processes can eliminate the issue of oxidation.
