PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely position an electrode part of a semiconductor device and a conductive part of an anisotropic conductive connection member by installing an opening having a diameter larger than that of an electrode, integratedly installing a conductor having elasticity in the opening, and making the depth from the surface of an insulating sheet to the conductor shallower than the height of the electrode projected from the plane of the semiconductor device in the opening. SOLUTION: When the electrode is a semiconductor device to be inspected and projected from the plane of the semiconductor device, the projected electrode is inserted into each opening corresponding to the anisotropic conductive connection member, the electrode part of the semiconductor device and the conductive part of the anisotropic conductive connection member can correctly be positioned. In this state, when a normal pressure is applied, the electrode of the semiconductor device and the conductive part of the anisotropic conductive connection member can surely be electrically connected. Since the diameter of the bump-shaped electrode of the semiconductor device is smaller than that of the opening of the anisotropic conductive connection member, the inserted electrode comes in contact with the conductor whose tip has elasticity to be electrically connected, and deformation of the device can be reduced.
