ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device manufacturing process which includes a test process that minimizes the test time for a single wafer, reduces the test cost and improves the throughput. The test system is made up of a wafer which includes plural chips formed with flash memories, a wafer level whole-surface contact device for contact with the whole surface of the wafer, a tester for testing electric characteristics of the wafer, and a BOST board interposed between the tester and the wafer level whole-surface contact device and with chip-by-chip control circuits mounted thereon. Where the test time differs depending on each chip in the wafer, the BOST board controls each test item for each chip so that in a parallel manner for the chips, upon completion of a preceding test, a shift is made to the next test.
