Abstract: A process wherein substrate preliminary formed with bumps by electrolytic plating or other technique is prepared. The semiconductor device is opposed to the substrate with the bumps so that the Al electrodes of the semiconductor device are aligned with respect to the bumps and brought into contact with each other. Then, the Al electrodes of the semiconductor device and the bumps are bonded together by the application of pressure and heat with an Au--Al alloy layer formed therebetween. Subsequently, the bumps are peeled off the substrate so as to be transferred to the respective Al electrodes. Thereafter, the semiconductor device is opposed to a circuit board so that the bumps are aligned with respect to the electrodes of wiring and brought into contact with them.

Abstract: The present invention relates to connecting electronic components using bump electrodes to connect electronic components such as semiconductors with the patterning electrodes of a circuit board. In order to prevent deterioration in connecting reliability due to deformation and the like of semiconductors and circuit boards, it is necessary to have some elasticity incorporated within bump electrodes. The bump electrodes disclosed by the present invention have resin bumps with numerous cavities disposed within and covered by a low melting point metal layer. According to this composition, even when there are some variations of distribution in circuit board warp and bump electrode height, it is possible to absorb the variations through the elasticity presented by the bump electrodes. It is also possible to perform a low strain connection with a resultant enhancement in connecting reliability at high temperature.

The holder has portions defining penetrations vertically running through the holder. Optical fibers are inserted into the penetrations. A light ray radiates from the optical fiber. The light ray is incident upon the top surface of the depression chip, enters the depression chip, is reflected from a side surface of the depression chip onto the undersurface of the depression chip, and is emitted from the undersurface of the depression chip as an outgoing light ray. A photo-curing resin supplied between the semiconductor chip and the wiring substrate is irradiated with such an outgoing light ray, so that the photo-curing resin hardens.

The method further includes a step for pressing the lead of one corresponding pair such that the conductive bonding material is pressed between the lead and the electrode, thereby bonding the lead and electrode. After bonding, the conductive bonding material is pulled to cut and leave the bonded conductive bonding material. Then, while the bonding tool is released from the bonded pair, the conductive bonding material is served to the bonding tool for the next bonding operation.
