Publication number: 20150214088Abstract: Disclosed is a pickup method in which a first suction unit is caused to approach and come into contact with a chip adhered to an adhesive sheet, and a second suction unit which is formed with a concavity on a contact surface configured to come into contact with the adhesive sheet is caused to approach and come into contact with the adhesive sheet in such a manner as to be opposite to the first suction unit. The adhesive sheet is sucked by the second suction unit that is in contact with the adhesive sheet, and a fluid is injected between the adhesive sheet and the chip by an injection unit. As a result, the adhesive sheet is detached from a portion of the chip opposite to the concavity, and in the state where the chip is being sucked by the first suction unit, the first suction unit is caused to be spaced away from the adhesive sheet that is being sucked by the second suction unit. In this manner, the chip is detached and picked up from the adhesive sheet.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2011Publication date: July 30, 2015Applicant: TOKYO ELECTRON LIMITEDInventors: Ken Nakao, Michikazu Nakamura, Itaru Iida, Muneo Harada
