Abstract: Provided is a breeding apparatus that can facilitate disposition and collection of a spawning bed. A breeding apparatus includes a breeding area forming member that forms breeding areas for organisms and is open at least at the bottoms of the breeding areas, and a spawning bed sheet that forms the bottom surfaces of the breeding areas, has a belt shape, and is provided so as to be movable in a longitudinal direction of the belt shape relative to the breeding area forming member.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes placing a semiconductor wafer on a stage, the semiconductor wafer having a plurality of ball-shaped external connecting terminals projected from a surface, bringing a probe card close to the semiconductor wafer placed on the stage to bring a plurality of probe terminals included in the probe card into contact with the external connecting terminals respectively, and applying a voltage to the semiconductor wafer through the probe terminal to perform a test of the semiconductor wafer. The probe terminals contact all the external connecting terminals.
