<p>An alignment method of chips that are formed on a surface of a semiconductor wafer with alignment marks corresponding to the chips includes the steps of irradiating an alignment mark corresponding to a predetermined alignment chip in a predetermined area including the chips with a laser light; detecting reflected waves from the alignment mark of the predetermined alignment chip to obtain a position of the alignment mark of the predetermined alignment chip; irradiating an alignment mark of an alternative chip different from the predetermined alignment chip with the laser light in case of not being able to obtain the position of the alignment mark of the predetermined alignment chip; obtaining a position of the alignment mark of the alternative chip by detecting the reflected waves from the alignment mark of the alternative chip; and aligning the chips in the predetermined area based on positions of alignment marks including the position of the alignment mark of the alternative chip.</p> |
