==Original Abstract Submitted==

Embodiments are directed to microscale and millimeter scale multi-layer structures (e.g. probe structures for making contact between two electronic components for example in semiconductor wafer and chip and electronic component test applications). Some embodiments of the invention provide structures that include a core and shell on at least one layer where the layer including the shell is formed from at least one core material and at least one shell material wherein the shell material is different from a shell material or a single structural material on at least one of an immediately preceding layer or an immediately succeeding layer and wherein the core material is different from any core material on at least one of an immediately preceding layer or an immediately succeeding layer.
