Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A test carrier includes a base member and a cover member. The base member includes a multi-layer board including a wiring line that is electrically connected to a die and a base film that supports the multi-layer board. The cover member includes a frame-shaped cover frame having an opening formed therein. The size of the multi-layer board is larger than the size of the die and is smaller than the size of the opening in a direction along a surface that is opposite to the die.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A test carrier comprising: a base that holds an electronic device to be tested; and a cover that overlaps the base so as to cover the electronic device to be tested, wherein the base includes: a multi-layer board including a wiring line that is electrically connected to the electronic device to be tested; and a supporting board that supports the multi-layer board, the cover includes a frame having an opening formed therein, and a size of the multi-layer board is larger than a size of the electronic device to be tested and is smaller than a size of the opening in a direction along a opposite surface which is opposite to the electronic device to be tested. 2. The test carrier according to claim 1 , wherein the base includes an external terminal, and the wiring line of the multi-layer board is connected to the external terminal through a wiring line of the supporting board. 3. The test carrier according to claim 2 , wherein the wiring line of the supporting board is formed outside the wiring line of the multi-layer board in the direction along the opposite surface.
