PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of reducing a contact pressure and extending a service life of a thin probe by removing an oxide film from a chip electrode easily without requiring any special post-treatment. SOLUTION: The fine particles 8a of pulverized dry ice 8 are injected by high-pressure air against a chip electrode 12a of a wafer 11 through a nozzle 6 so as to remove oxide film from the surface of the electrode. In addition, after the chip electrode 12a is polished with a polishing disk 14, the pulverized dry ice fine particles 8a are injected against the chip electrode region by the high-pressure air so as to remove the oxide film and blow off polishing powder.
