Abstract: A method of forming a bump electrode on an IC electrode includes the steps of forming a ball bond on an IC electrode by a wire bonding apparatus, moving a bonding capillary upward, moving the bonding capillary sideways and then downward, bonding an Au wire to the ball bond portion, and cutting the Au wire. The Au wire is prevented from coming in contact with portions around the ball bond portion other than the ball bond portion by presetting a descent position of the bonding capillary to a position higher than a position in which the ball bond is formed.

Abstract: A mounting method of a semiconductor element capable of joining an electrode of a semiconductor element and a circuit board at high reliability. The method includes a step of forming an external electrode terminal by filling a hole formed in circuit board with a conductive paste, a step of positioning the external electrode terminal and a protruding bump formed on an electrode of a semiconductor, and a step of pressing the semiconductor element to contact between the conductive paste in the hole and the protruding bump thereby electrically connecting the electrode of the semiconductor element and the external electrode terminal of the circuit board. An adhesive sheet of a thermosetting resin, a thermoplastic resin, or a mixed thermosetting and thermoplastic resin may be disposed on the circuit board where the bump breaks through the sheet to contact the paste.

Abstract: Copper electrodes are formed on a circuit board to be bonded with leads of a TAB driving liquid crystal. A pre-deposit solder receiver having solder printed thereon is also provided on the circuit board in alignment with and prior to an electrode to be first bonded with a lead, to form a sufficient solder pool between plural electrodes and a bottom wall of a soldering iron. Solder/bonding is accordingly realized efficiently even from a starting electrode E1. Also, an excessive solder receiver may be provided in alignment with and after an electrode to be last bonded with a lead.

Abstract: An electrode terminal (5) provided on a surface of a semiconductor chip (4) has a square shape in plane view. Further, the projecting apex portion (8a) of a bump (8) provided on the electrode terminal (5) orients to a corner portion (5a) of the electrode terminal (5). Hereupon, a gold ball (2a) formed by melting the lower end portion of a gold wire (2) supplied through a capillary (1) is joined to the electrode terminal (5), and then the capillary (1) is moved in the direction of a diagonal line of the square electrode (5). Thus, the main portion of the gold wire (2) is separated from the gold ball (2a) so that the bump (8) is formed.
