Abstract

An apparatus for testing an integrated circuit comprises: a chip unit with a plurality of electronic parts such as chip units arranged on the upside of a chip support; a probe unit having a plurality of contacts arranged on the underside of a probe support and spaced downward from the chip unit; a connection unit supporting the probe unit spaced downward from the chip unit on a pin support so as to penetrate the pin support in an up-down direction; and a coupling unit which couples separably the chip unit, the probe unit and the connection unit and displaces one of the chip support and the probe support and the pin support in a direction to approach each other and to be away from each other relative to the connection unit.
