Since the power-supply and/or signal-transmission wiring layers connected to the semiconductor chip regions are formed, each individual integrated circuit can be burned in on the semiconductor wafer and, in other words, an integrated circuit can be burned in on a wafer level. The integrated circuit can thus be burned in at the end of a wafer process. An assembled semiconductor device is subjected to a high temperature or a high humidity, for checking the reliability of the assembled device.

An integrated semiconductor device is disclosed which has a highly-integrated circuit formed on a substrate. A constant voltage generator is connected to the integrated circuit, for receiving an externally-supplied d.c. power supply voltage to produce a regulated d.c. voltage, the potential level of which is lower than the external power supply voltage and remains substantially constant irrespective of the external power supply voltage. A mode-change controller is connected in parallel with the voltage generator, for supplying the output d.c. voltage of the voltage generator to the integrated circuit as an internal power supply voltage in a normal operation mode. When the device is subjected to an accelerated test using an increased power supply voltage, a switching transistor is rendered conductive under the control of a control circuit, thereby allowing the external power supply voltage to be directly applied to the integrated circuit.
