Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) has evolved into an essential part in research and development due to its quantitative 3D surface characterization capabilities on the spatial nanoscale together with the possibility to access laterally resolved magnetic, chemical, mechanical, optical, electric or thermal properties of the sample surface. In this contribution, we demonstrate the direct-write fabrication of 3D nano-probes via focused electron beam induced deposition (FEBID) together with its respective AFM application. For conductive-AFM, Pt-C nano-pillars are initially fabricated by FEBID and then chemically transferred into pure Pt via gas assisted post-growth purification. For thermal nano-probes we use platinums temperature dependent, electric properties as transducing element together with FEBIDs 3D fabrication capabilities to realize free-standing nano-bridges. We demonstrate the reversible, quantitative temperature response together with fast response times of less than 30 ms/K. Finally, we show scanning thermal microscopy measurements, revealing thermal surface gradients on the nanoscale.
