Patent ID: 7673493

Claim:
An inspection device for inspecting a humidity sensor having a sensor portion and a circuit portion, which are integrated into one chip, wherein the sensor portion is capable of detecting humidity of atmosphere, and wherein the circuit portion is electrically connected to the sensor portion so that the circuit portion is capable of processing a detection signal of the sensor portion, the inspection device comprising: an inspection chamber for accommodating a wafer, the wafer in which a plurality of humidity sensors are disposed as sensor chips in a wafer state; a probe as a contact member for contacting an electrode pad of the circuit portion, wherein the probe is disposed in the inspection chamber; a tester for inspecting electric properties of at least one of the humidity sensors in the wafer state, wherein the tester is electrically connected to the probe for inspecting the at least one humidity sensor; and a temperature-humidity control portion for controlling a temperature and a humidity in the inspection chamber.
