It covers the inside of 7 and prevents the surface force particles of the upper and lower pin holes 7 in the base 2 from reattaching to the sample 4.
- the electrode terminal 42 a is used as the base 2 and the joining layer 3. Attach without using an adhesive such as a screw or press-fit to penetrate. It is preferable that the heights of the upper surfaces of the electrode terminal 42a and the bonding layer 3 be approximately the same. Thereafter, by forming the electrode portion 40 so as to cover the convex portion 1 and the bonding layer 3, the electrode portion 40 and the electrode terminal 42a are electrically connected, and voltage application to the electrode portion 40 becomes possible.
- the dielectric portion 43 is formed so as to cover the electrode portion 40, so that the electrode portion 40 and the electrode terminal 42a can be prevented from appearing on the surface to which the sample 4 is adsorbed. It is possible to prevent discharge between them.
- the electrode portion 40 and the dielectric portion 43 can be formed into a film by sputtering, vapor deposition, CVD or the like. The film thickness can be reduced to prevent the generation of surface defects. However, since the convex portion 1 and the bonding layer 3 made of a single crystal or amorphous material have no defect, the defect is not projected on the surface of the film of the electrode portion 40 and the dielectric portion 43.
