Zusammenfassung:	A semiconductor component having test pads and a method and apparatus for testing the same is described. In an example, an un-bumped substrate is obtained having a pattern of bond pads configured to support bumped contacts and a plurality of test pads. Each of the plurality of test pads is in electrical communication with a respective one of the bond pads. The substrate is tested using the plurality of test pads. In another example, a substrate is fabricated having a pattern of bond pads configured to support bumped contacts and a plurality of test pads. Each of the plurality of test pads is in electrical communication with a respective one of the bond pads. The substrate is tested using the plurality of test pads. An insulating layer is formed over the plurality of test pads.
