ABSTRACT:
An IC tester including a specimen chamber and an electron optical column for radiating an electron beam to a specimen placed in the specimen chamber, wherein a fixed table is attached to a Z table in the specimen chamber and includes downwardly protruding spring contact pins which are connected to lead wires led outside of the specimen chamber. A probe card unit for testing an IC wafer is provided on the upper surface of the fixed table and includes electric terminals having the same positional relation as that of the spring contact pins. A probe card unit fixing mechanism is attached to the undersurface of the fixed table and is so arranged that the probe card unit can be slid laterally along the undersurface of the fixed table and then upward to press the probe card unit against the undersurface of the fixed table and to bring the spring contact pins into electrical contact with their corresponding probe card terminals.
