  • Publication number: 20230268313
    Abstract: A semiconductor device manufacturing device comprises: a stage; two bonding heads which are mutually independently horizontally movable; and a controller for causing each of the two bonding heads to perform a positioning process for horizontal positioning, a grounding process for lowering the chip until the chip is grounded on a substrate, and a pressurizing process for applying a bonding load to the chip that is grounded. The controller causes the two bonding heads to perform the positioning process and the grounding process independently from each other in a non-pressurizing period in which neither of the bonding heads is performing the pressurizing process, and causes the two bonding heads after completing the positioning process and the grounding process to perform the pressurizing process in parallel.

  • Publication number: 20230230853
    Abstract: A manufacturing apparatus of a semiconductor device includes a stage, a mounting tool, a pressing mechanism, and a controller. The pressing mechanism moves the mounting tool in a vertical direction and applies a load to a chip. The controller is configured to perform a first process and a detection process. In the first process, after bringing the chip into contact and until a bump melts, the chip is heated by the mounting tool and a command position of the pressing mechanism is constantly updated so that a positional deviation is constant. In the detection process, melting of the bump is detected based on a decrease in the pressing load.
