The tensile strength of joints fabricated by focused electron beam (FEB) induced deposition is studied with a cantilever‐based set‐up in a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Two positioning tables allow for contacting a freestanding deposit with the cantilever. A metal/carbon nano‐composite joint is formed by scanning the contact area with the FEB decomposing the precursor molecules W(CO) 6 and Co 2 (CO) 8 . The tensile strength can be measured by retracting the cantilever until deposit rupture.
