Abstract: The purpose is, in mounting a semiconductor device onto a substrate, to make it easy to identify the remaining amount of an auxiliary joining agent, to stabilize the dispensing amount of the auxiliary joining agent, and to prevent a shortage of the auxiliary joining agent. Also for the purpose of efficient maintenance of a mounting machine, provided is an auxiliary joining agent adapted to aid joining of metals and prepared by dissolving a colorant in a solvent having a reducing property of removing an oxide film on a metal surface. The auxiliary joining agent is produced by a method including a step of mixing a solvent having a reducing property of removing an oxide film on a metal surface, and a colorant having a property of dissolving in the solvent.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes a step of preparing a semiconductor element including a functional surface on which a bump is formed and an adhesive layer of a film shape including a flux component, a step of positioning the semiconductor element above a board including an electrode, a step of activating a flux component by applying ultrasonic vibration to the semiconductor element, a step of bringing the bump into contact with the electrode by pressing the semiconductor element to the board, and a step of bonding the bump to the electrode by continuing the application of the ultrasonic vibration and the pressing of the semiconductor element.

Abstract: An atmospheric plasma irradiation unit has a discharge tube for ejecting a primary plasma formed of an inductively coupled plasma of an inert gas and a mixer for generating a secondary plasma formed of a mixed gas plasmanized by collisions of the primary plasma with a mixed gas region of a second inert gas and a reactive gas. The discharge tube and the mixer are included in a plasma head. A moving unit moves the plasma head so that an irradiation area of the secondary plasma to an object is moved on a circular or other-shaped locus.

Abstract: When metal junction between a first electrode and a second electrode is executed as ultrasonic bonding between metals including at least copper, the ultrasonic bonding is performed in a state that a contact interface between the first electrode and the second electrode is covered with a bonding auxiliary agent. As a result, formation of oxide at a bonding interface between the first electrode and the second electrode due to execution of the ultrasonic bonding can be suppressed. Therefore, while a desired bonding strength is ensured, ultrasonic bonding with copper used for the first electrode or the second electrode can be fulfilled and cost cuts in mounting of semiconductor devices can be achieved.
