Patent ID: 7688086

Claim:
A method of testing a semiconductor integrated circuit, comprising: positioning a main face of the semiconductor integrated circuit adjacent to a first side of a probe apparatus, the main face of the semiconductor integrated circuit including a plurality of electrodes, and the first side of the probe apparatus including a sheet with a plurality of metal film portions each having a contact probe; contacting the plurality of electrodes with corresponding ones of the contact probes; and conducting electrical testing of the semiconductor integrated circuit with the plurality of electrodes in contact with the corresponding contact probes, wherein said contacting includes controlling a pressing apparatus to move the sheet so as to bring the plurality of electrodes into contact with corresponding ones of the contact probes, wherein the sheet further includes a first insulating film, a second insulating film, and a plurality of multi-layered wiring portions each having a first wiring portion and a second wiring portion, the first wiring portion being electrically connected to an associated one of the metal film portions, wherein the first insulating film is formed over the metal film portions, wherein each first wiring portion is formed over the first insulating film and is electrically connected to the associated metal film portion through a first opening formed in the first insulating film, wherein the second insulating film is formed over the first wiring portions, wherein each second wiring portion is formed over the second insulating film and is electrically connected to the corresponding first wiring portion through a second opening formed in the second insulating film, wherein each first wiring portion overlaps the corresponding second wiring portion in plan view, wherein each first wiring portion and corresponding second wiring portion overlap the contact probe of the associated metal film portion in plan view, and wherein each first opening and each second opening do not overlap the contact probe of the associated metal film portion in plan view.
