Abstract: Ceramic semiconductor packages which comprise a lead frame (1) having registering holes (4, 5) and a ceramic substrate (2) having a thermally fusible bonding material such as a resin or glass applied to the sealing surface (6) of the substrate are manufactured by positioning the lead frame, using a transfer device (14), on a lead frame-supporting plate (11) having holes (20, 21), through which positioning pins (22) formed on a positioning base (12) are made to protrude by lifting the base (12) by a driving mechanism (13), in such a manner that the positioning pins pass through the registering holes (4, 5) of the lead frame. The substrate is then centered and positioned on the lead frame using a transfer device (15) having chuck hands (33). Thereafter, the bonding material is fused by heating in a heating furnace (16) to bond the lead frame and the substrate.
