  • Patent number: 7633148
    Abstract: A plurality of conductive pads (2) are formed on a mounting surface of a mounting board. Conductive pads (11) are formed on a principal surface of a semiconductor chip (10) at positions corresponding to the conductive pads of the mounting board, when the principal surface faces toward the mounting board. A plurality of conductive nanotubes (12) extend from the conductive pads of one of the mounting board and the semiconductor chip. A press mechanism (3) presses the semiconductor chip against the mounting board and restricts a position of the semiconductor chip on the mounting surface to mount the semiconductor chip on the mounting board, in a state that tips of the conductive nanotubes are in contact with the corresponding conductive pads not formed with the conductive nanotubes.
