Abstract

A test system includes a to-be-tested die including a to-be-tested transistor and a sense transistor, and a test device including a signal amplifying unit, a testing unit, and a probe card connecting the signal amplifying unit and the testing unit to the die. The signal amplifying unit has a first terminal connected to the to-be-tested transistor, and second and third terminals connected to the sense transistor. The signal amplifying unit stabilizes voltages at the second and third terminals based on a voltage at the first terminal, and generates an amplification voltage based on the voltages at the first to third terminals. The testing unit provides test signals to the to-be-tested transistor, determines magnitudes of currents flowing through the to-be-tested transistor and the sense transistor based on the test signals, the amplification voltage and a predetermined resistance, and thus acquires a current ratio to determine whether the die is defective.
