Abstract

Dispersion of a load may be kept within a predetermined allowance even when a plurality of probes in a large area are pressed in batch by pressing the probes provided in a membrane against a wafer by applying a pressure load to a plurality of places on a plane of the pressure members on the side opposite the wafer in a probe test step, burn-in test step which represent typical semiconductor device manufacturing steps. It is then possible to provide semiconductor devices and a manufacturing method thereof which enhance the reliability and productivity of the semiconductor devices by probing a large number of integrated circuits or a large size integrated circuit at the same time.
