The present invention is a method for testing a contact open capable of effectively testing a contact open defect in an In-line as securing a mass productivity. The method includes the steps of: performing a photolithography process for forming a contact; forming a contact hole by performing a contact etching process after sampling at least one wafer; depositing a conductive layer on the wafer provided with the contact hole; isolating the conductive layer within the contact hole; performing a test for testing a contact open interface to check whether a remaining layer is existed in an interface between the conductive layer and a lower structure of the conductive layer; and performing a process for etching the contact of a main lot based on a test result.
