Claims
- 1. A testing board for simultaneously testing a plurality of semiconductor integrated circuit elements for electric characteristics by applying a voltage to respective testing electrodes of said semiconductor integrated circuit elements, said testing board comprising:a plurality of connection terminals provided on a substrate to be connected to the respective testing electrodes of said semiconductor integrated circuits elements; a voltage supply line provided in said substrate to supply the voltage to said connection terminals; and at least one PTC element provided on said substrate to be interposed between said voltage supply line and at least one of said connection terminals; wherein said connection terminals are probe terminals positioned on said substrate to correspond to the respective testing electrodes of said semiconductor integrated circuit elements; said testing board is a probe card for simultaneously testing the electric characteristics of said semiconductor integrated circuit elements formed in a semiconductor wafer; and said voltage supply line is a common voltage supply line connected in common to said plurality of probe terminals, said probe terminals and said voltage supply line are provided on one side of said substrate, and said at least one PTC element is provided on peripheral portions of one side of said substrate to correspond to individual blocks formed by dividing said probe terminals into groups in a one-to-one relationship.
