A pogo pin-free testing device for IC chip test includes a load board, a ceramic interposer disposed on the load board, and copper core balls. The ceramic interposer has first and second surfaces and connecting points, and the second surface of the ceramic interposer faces the load board. Each connecting point has through holes penetrating the first and second surfaces, and an inner sidewall surface thereof has a metallization layer. The metallization layer is extended to a portion of the first surface and a portion of the second surface. In each of the connecting points, an area of an extending portion of the metallization layer extended to the second surface is less than an area of an extending portion of the metallization layer extended to the first surface. The copper core balls are disposed between the load board and the through holes of each connecting point of the ceramic interposer.
