<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a chip pickup method, a chip mounting method and a chip mounting apparatus capable of increasing the work efficiency. <P>SOLUTION: In a pickup chip determination step, a target chip, which should be picked up next after one chip is picked up from one area, is determined based on a piece of characteristic information. A qualified chip, which has been determined qualified as a chip to be picked up, is searched referring to a piece of map data, and the qualified chip which is included in the identical area is determined first as a chip to be picked up next. When no qualified chip is found in the area, a qualified chip included in an area closest to the area is determined as the chip to be picked up next. This reduces a wasteful operation time for performing the relative movement from one edge to the other edge of a wafer in the pickup operation by a pickup head which performs a relative movement; and as a result, the work efficiency is increased. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
