“…[9][10][11][12][13] Compared to mechanical methods, [14][15][16][17] ame etching 18 and others, 19,20 electrochemical etching of tungsten wire has been extensively adopted due to its convenience, reliability and easy operation. [21][22][23][24] A number of etching strategies and methods, including the drop-off method, 23 liquid membrane etching, 25 two-step etching, 26 inversing etching 27 and post-annealing, 28 have been developed for the fabrication of various probes. Among them, the drop-off method is the most popular one due to its convenient operability and high controllability.…”
