Patent ID: 7688088

Claim:
An inspection method for inspecting the electrical characteristics of an inspection object, the inspection method comprising: (a) mounting the inspection object on a mounting surface of a stage; (b) bringing at least one pair of probes in contact with at least one electrode on a second surface of the inspection object; (c) applying a voltage to the at least one pair of probes so as to generate a fritting phenomenon and forming an electrical path between each probe of the pair of probes and the at least one electrode by using the fritting phenomenon; and (d) connecting both probes of the at least one pair of probes to a test circuit so as to form an electrical path from the test circuit to the at least one electrode through both probes wherein, the mounting surface of the stage comprises at least one pair of electrodes, the at least one pair of electrodes having a first electrode and a second electrode, the inspection object having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface comprising at least one conductive layer, the inspection object being mounted on the mounting surface such that the conductive layer is in the contact with the at least one pair of electrodes; and the inspection method further comprising: (e) applying a voltage to the at least one pair of electrodes on the stage so as to generate a fritting phenomenon, and forming an electrical path between the at least one pair of electrodes and the conductive layer by using the fritting phenomenon.
