Abstract:
A testing module comprising:a semiconductor device package including a semiconductor chip having an active front surface, integrated circuits at the active front surface, and a back opposed to the active front surface, a plurality of leads electrically connected to said semiconductor chip, and a package body having a backside which is decapsulated so as to expose the back of said semiconductor chip, and a front which is opposed to said backside; and a test fixture to which said semiconductor device package is mounted, said test fixture comprising a fixture body having a loading surface which contacts the front of said package body and supports said semiconductor device package, a plurality of connection pins having respective inner ends which are mechanically contacted with and electrically connected to the leads of said semiconductor device package, and respective outer ends integral with the inner ends, the outer ends protruding from said fixture body so as to be connectable to an external apparatus, a cover which has an opening therethrough through which the back of said semiconductor chip is exposed, and a plurality of projections providing the mechanical contact between the leads of said semiconductor device package and the connection pins, and connection means for connecting said cover to said fixture body, so that the projections of said cover provide the mechanical contact between the leads of said semiconductor device package and the connection pins when said cover is at a closed position.
