  • Patent number: 7279358
    Abstract: A mounting method includes the steps of, after positioning objects being bonded relative to each other, moving a movable wall positioned there around until coming into contact with one object holding means to form a local chamber having a local enclosed space, enclosing both objects in the chamber, reducing the pressure in the chamber, moving the object holding means in a direction for reducing the volume of the chamber and moving the movable wall following the movement of the object holding means, and bonding both objects to each other by pressing. Since the bonding part and the vicinity of the bonding part can be locally and efficiently enclosed from the surroundings, and the local chamber can vary the shape of the enclosed space with the bonding operation while maintaining the enclosed state even at the time of bonding.

  • Patent number: 6961994
    Abstract: A mounting device including a plurality of heads, each holding a chip, arranged on a circle, is used to realize accurate and high-speed mounting. A mounting device comprises a plurality of heads with calibration marks, first recognition mechanism fixed in a chip mounting position, and second recognition mechanism fixed in another position. Prior to mounting operation, the first recognition mechanism and the second recognition mechanism recognize and store the positions of the calibration marks of the heads. In mounting operation, the first recognition mechanism recognizes the positions of a substrate and the calibration marks of the heads, whereas the second recognition mechanism recognizes the positions of chips attracted on the heads. The heads are moved vertically to adjust plane to be recognized. The chip and the substrate are aligned according to the position information obtained by the recognition mechanisms, and the chips are mounted.
