Abstract

A semiconductor device for testing a semiconductor wafer includes a circuit board, a probe disposed below the circuit board and facing the semiconductor wafer, an integrated substrate disposed between the circuit board and the probe, and signal-transmitting module disposed on the circuit board and next to the integrated substrate. The probe is electrically coupled to the circuit board through the integrated substrate, and the signal-transmitting module transmits a test signal to the probe through the integrated substrate and the circuit board to perform a test to the semiconductor wafer. Another semiconductor device including the integrated substrate and a manufacturing method thereof are provided.
