Method of bonding bumps to leads of tab tape and an apparatus for arranging bumps used for the same

摘要

A method of bonding bumps to leads of a TAB tape comprises the steps of preparing a substrate which is provided with through-holes, each having a size which will not allow the bumps to pass therethrough, at positions corresponding to bonding positions of the leads of the TAB tape where the bumps are to be bonded; provisionally arranging the bumps at positions of the through-holes at one side of the substrate by reducing a pressure in another side of the substrate opposite to said one side thereof to such the bumps in said through-holes; disposing the substrate on which the bumps are provisionally arranged and said TAB tape in such a positional relationship that said bumps face to the bonding positions of the leads of said TAB tape; and bonding the provisionally arranged bumps to the leads at the bonding positions and an apparatus for arranging bumps in a positional relationship corresponding to bonding positions of leads of a TAB tape.
