Testing apparatus and testing method

Abstract

The present invention proposes a testing method for testing a semiconductor element, including: providing a semiconductor element having a first surface on which a first testing area is formed and a second surface on which a second testing surface is formed; placing the semiconductor element on a plane surface, allowing any one of the first surface and the second surface to be in no parallel to the plane surface; and electrically connecting a testing apparatus to the first testing area and the second testing area of the semiconductor element. The semiconductor element is placed in a non-horizontal manner on the testing apparatus, which makes contact with the two opposing surfaces of the semiconductor element in a horizontal way without directly exerting a downward force against the surface of the semiconductor element, thereby preventing the semiconductor element from damages.
