A dynamic random access memory device is equipped with a test circuit for testing an internal refresh circuit. In a test mode, the content of an internal address counter is supplied to both the row of column address decoders, by which one memory cell disposed on the diagonal in a memory cell array is designated. Further, data is written into the designated memory cell from outside of the memory device, and the data stored in the designated memory cell is then read out to check whether the read-out signal is coincident with the written data.

A tester for integrated circuits, includes a testing set for supplying inputs for operating an integrated circuit to be tested and for measuring outputs of the integrated circuit to be tested, a semiconductor chip or wafer formed with at least some of the functions of the testing set, and a contact member through which the semiconductor chip or wafer is to come into electrical contact with the integrated circuit to be tested. Thus, it is not necessary to transmit test signals from the testing set, and hence it is possible to simplify the expensive hardware necessary for transmitting the test signals. As a result, the cost of the tester is markedly reduced.
