An SPM sensor having a cantilever, a holding element at one end of the cantilever and a sensor tip at the other end of the cantilever, wherein the holding element is made from a photoresist and the cantilever and/or the tip are made from another material. The photoresist is preferably SU-8, and the other material for the cantilever and/or the tip is preferably silicon, a silicon compound, metals and mixtures thereof. The production of a frame having a plurality of the SPM sensors, wherein both the frame and the holders for the individual SPM sensors and at least the holding element consist of SU-8. The process allows for inexpensive production of the SPM sensors, the sensors being supplied to the user in a frame from which he can detach the sensors.
