Redox method of forming a coaxial probe structure of elongated electrical conductors projecting from a support structure

A structure comprising:

• a substrate having a surface;
• a plurality of elongated electrical conductors extending away from said surface;
• each of said elongated electrical conductors having a first end affixed to said surface and a second end projecting away from said surface;
• said elongated electrical conductor having a dielectric coating disposed thereon so that said second end is not coated with said dielectric coating;
• a coating of an electrically conductive material disposed on said dielectric coating and on said surface to form a plurality of coaxial elongated electrical conductors having electrically common outer conductors.
