Original Abstract Submitted

A testing module for a semiconductor wafer-form package includes a circuit board structure, first connectors, a first connecting structure, second connectors, third connectors and a first bridge connector. The circuit board structure includes two edge regions and a main region located therebetween. The first connectors are located over the edge regions and connected to the circuit board structure. The first connecting structure is located over and distant from the circuit board structure. The second connectors and third connectors are located over and connected to the first connecting structure, where the third connectors are configured to transmit electric signals for testing the semiconductor wafer-form package being placed over the main region. The first bridge connector is electrically coupling the circuit board structure and the first connecting structure by connecting the second connectors and the first connectors.
