Disclosed herein are a sheet-like probe capable of surly preventing positional deviation between electrode structures and electrodes to be inspected by temperature changes in a bum-in test, even when the object of inspection is a wafer having a large area of 8 inches or greater in diameter or a circuit device, the pitch of electrodes to be inspected of which is extremely small, and thus capable of stably retaining a good electrically connected state, and a production process and applications thereof. The sheet-like probe of the present invention comprises a contact film obtained by holding a plurality of electrode structures arranged in accordance with a pattern corresponding to respective electrodes to be connected and having a front-surface electrode part exposed to a front surface and a back-surface electrode part exposed to aback surface by an insulating film composed of a flexible resin, and a frame plate supporting the contract film.
