Prober

A prober includes: a wafer chuck having a conductive support surface; a movement rotation mechanism which moves and rotates the wafer chuck; a head stage which holds a probe holding portion; a stage member which has a conductive stage surface that is formed in parallel to the support surface and electrically connected with the support surface, and can move integrally with the wafer chuck; and a contactor which is fixed to a position facing the stage member and whose tip can electrically come into contact with the stage surface, wherein the stage member is separated from the wafer chuck as a separate body, and the stage surface and the support surface are electrically connected through a wiring member; and a back-surface electrode of a chip is electrically connected with a tester through the wafer chuck, a wiring, the stage member and the contactor.
