[0041] Figure 2 is a flowchart of a manufacturing method of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 The electronic device 100 of the present embodiment can be manufactured by performing the following steps S210-S240. In step S210, a substrate 101 is provided. Circuit traces can be formed on the substrate 101 in advance. In step S220, the electronic element(s) 110 are bonded to the substrate 101. The positions of the electronic elements 110 on the substrate 101 can be determined based on the circuit traces formed in advance. In the present embodiment, the electronic elements 110 can include variable capacitances, and the variable capacitances of the electronic elements 110 can be mainly driven by reverse bias (or reverse current) in the working mode (driven by the signals provided by the driving circuits 120, 130) to perform the capacitance modulation function through the electron depletion region of the variable capacitances.

[0042] In step S230, a forward bias (or forward current) is applied to the electronic elements 110 by a testing device, and the electronic elements 110 are determined to be normal or fail. The testing device can provide a forward bias to the variable capacitances of the electronic elements 110 through the test pads 140, so that the variable capacitances realize the diode function to emit light (electromagnetic waves) with a specific wavelength (e.g., 0.2-1000 microns (um)). In the present embodiment, whether the electronic elements 110 emit light with a specific wavelength can be detected by a light detecting element to determine whether the variable capacitances of the electronic elements 110 are normal or fail. The light with a specific wavelength is emitted from the variable capacitances. Alternatively, in an embodiment, whether the variable capacitances of the electronic elements 110 have normal thermal characteristics (thermal distribution) can be detected by an infrared imager to determine whether the variable capacitances of the electronic elements 110 are normal or fail (including determining whether the variable capacitances and the circuit traces are normally electrically connected).

[0043] At step S240, the substrate 101 provided with the electronic components judged to be normal is transported, or the electronic components judged to be damaged are repaired. In this regard, when the electronic components with damage are judged, the manufacturing personnel or manufacturing equipment can be notified to replace or repair the damaged electronic components. When all the electronic components 110 are normal, the next manufacturing procedure (e.g., forming the driving circuits 120, 130) of the electronic device 100 can be performed or the electronic device 100 can be packaged, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Thus, the manufacturing method of the present embodiment can automatically judge whether the electronic components 110 in the electronic device 100 are damaged during the manufacturing process, so that the electronic components judged to be damaged can be repaired during the manufacturing process, thereby effectively improving the manufacturing yield of the electronic device 100.
