Abstract: A semiconductor device testing apparatus is realized, which allows contactors to be positioned throughout the wafer surface highly accurately for uniform contact, testing a large-sized wafer, and cost reduction. A plurality of divided contactor blocks is formed with a positioning groove. The groove is used to position the plurality of contactor blocks with a positioning frame. Because the contactor blocks are divided into plurals, it is less likely that a partial surface distortion affects other portions to impair surface flatness as compared with the case where a plurality of non-divided contactors is formed integrally, and the plurality of contactor blocks can be brought into contact with a wafer to be tested uniformly. Additionally, even though abnormality is generated in a part of the contactor blocks, only the part of the contactor blocks is replaced. Therefore, replacement costs can be reduced as compared with the case where a plurality of non-divided contactors is formed integrally.
