ABSTRACT:
While an ultrasonic wave beam producing device scans an ultrasonic wave beam 5 across a semiconductor integrated circuit chip 2, a current through the circuit chip is detected. In this way, the semiconductor integrated circuit chip may be accurately tested, and the creation of electron-hole pairs is avoided.
