Abstract:
1. A column mounting method comprising: preparing an alignment jig having columns inserted in respective alignment holes at the same positions as those of electrodes on a ceramic substrate of a ceramic column grid array; superimposing, on the prepared alignment jig, a column suction-holding head having elongate holes at the same positions as those of the electrodes on the ceramic substrate of the ceramic column grid array, the elongate holes being capable of suction from their bottoms, so that the alignment holes of the alignment jig and the elongate holes coincide with each other; applying suction from the bottom of the elongate holes of the column suction-holding head to suck the columns inserted in the alignment holes of the alignment jig into the elongate holes of the column suction-holding head, thereby inserting the columns into the elongate holes; separating the column suction-holding head having the columns inserted into all of the elongate holes from the alignment jig; placing the column suction-holding head having the columns loaded into all of the elongate holes over a mounting jig placed over the ceramic substrate so that the elongate holes coincide with mounting holes of the mounting jig; and canceling the suction applied to the column suction-holding head to mount the columns onto the electrodes of the ceramic substrate.
