Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure is to provide a wafer carrier substrate for carrying a wafer on which a plurality of chips is formed, elements to be measured being built in the plurality of chips. The wafer carrier substrate includes: a vacuuming hole for vacuuming of the wafer placed on the wafer carrier substrate; a wafer alignment guide for determining a predetermined position of the wafer placed on the wafer carrier substrate; and a mark for determining a probe contact position. It is possible to recognize a specific shot, without any additional processing of the semiconductor wafer.
