Abstract: In a flip-chip mounting equipment, there is provided an IC removal device by which ICs (4) which have been recognized to be removed in error in spite of their faultlessness can be removed in a manner such that they are lined up in a row without being scratched on the surface and without incurring electrostatic destruction. Also the device allows an easy visual checking of the ICs with the objective of reuse. The device comprises a glass plate (2) for carrying ICs (4) and a mechanism for rotating this glass plate (2) at fixed angles, whereby if a recognition error occurs, a bonding head (1) with an IC (4) sucked thereby is moved to an IC removal position on the glass plate (2) and is then lowered until the IC (4) contacts the glass plate (2), thereby removing the IC (4). As a result, the ICs (4) can be lined up in a row without being scratched on the surface and without incurring electrostatic destruction, allowing an easy visual checking of the ICs with the objective of reuse.
