A test carrier for testing a semiconductor component includes at least one decoupling capacitor for reducing parasitic inductance and noise in test signals transmitted to the component. The carrier includes a base, an interconnect for making temporary electrical connections with the component, and a force applying mechanism for biasing the component against the interconnect. The decoupling capacitor can be mounted to the base, or to the interconnect, with electrodes of the capacitor contained in power and ground paths to the component. A test method includes the steps of providing the carrier with the decoupling capacitor, assembling the component in the carrier, and transmitting test signals through the decoupling capacitor to the component. A test system includes the test carrier, a test apparatus such as a test board, and test circuitry for generating and analyzing test signals.
