摘要

A method of manufacturing a sample surface on which marking is formed, wherein the marking is a local oxide film formed locally on the sample surface, and the local oxide film is placed between the probe and the sample surface in a state in which the tip of the probe and the sample surface are in contact. The manufacturing method is provided in which the probe is formed by applying a voltage, and the probe is brought into contact with the surface of the sample after being subjected to a water supply treatment.
