Abstract
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming process of forming a semiconductor element on a semiconductor wafer and testing process of testing electrical performance of the formed semiconductor element. The testing process includes process of electrically connecting a testing apparatus to an electrode pad formed on the semiconductor element to be tested. The testing apparatus has a probe-formed substrate including a plurality of beams having probes to be electrically connected to the electrode pads. The probe-formed substrate has a first beam having at least one probe for electrically connection with the electrode pad and a second beam having a number of probes for electrical connection with the electrode pads of which number is more than the number of the electrode pads electrically connected by said first beam.
