[Prior Art] As a general example, the integrated circuit component on the aa circle must first test its electrical characteristics, # to determine whether the integrated circuit component is good. A good integrated circuit will be selected for subsequent packaging processes, and defective products will be discarded to avoid additional packaging costs. The integrated circuit component of the package must be ordered for another electrical test to screen out the defective package, thereby improving the final product yield. The test time and cost mainly depend on the moving speed of the component stage, that is, the higher movement. Speed reduces test time and cost. 1 and 2 illustrate a conventional test system 3〇〇 that contacts a wafer 31〇 on a component stage 304 using a probe 3〇2, wherein the wafer 3ι has a workpiece 312, 314 to be tested, 316. The component stage 304 (e.g., wafer holder) is movable in three axial directions, X, Υ, and ζ. During the test, the component stage is moved laterally to align the device under test 314 with the probe 3〇2, and then the wafer 31 is moved up to bring the probe 302 into contact with the device under test 3 14 to form an electrical path. The electrical test of the component to be tested 3 1 4 is performed; once the electrical test is completed, the component carrier table 4 4 M400658 is first moved down the wafer 3H) to move the probe away from the device to be tested 3i4 and then traverse the wafer 3H) In order to align the device under test 316 with the probe 3 () 2, and then move the wafer 31 up to bring the probe 302 into contact with the device under test 316 to form an electrical path, the electrical test is repeated. This design has been widely used in today's electronic component testing systems. For example, US 2 〇 08/0100312 discloses a test system that uses the design shown in Figure 2 to move the component under test in three axial directions, such as mz. However, this ° ° ° can not be applied to the speed test system, because the typical yuan
