Abstract:
1. An electronic component manufacturing apparatus for manufacturing an electronic component in which an interposer having a semiconductor chip mounted on a sheet-like chip holding member and having an interposer terminal that is a connection terminal extended from the semiconductor chip is bonded to a base circuit sheet made of a sheet-like base member and having a base terminal on a surface, the apparatus comprising: a converter unit having a substantially cylindrical anvil roller configured to rotate while continuously holding the base circuit sheet on an outer peripheral surface thereof, and an end-effector holding the interposer and configured to revolve the interposer along a circular path substantially circumscribing the outer peripheral surface of the anvil roller, the converter unit being configured to place the interposer on the surface of the base circuit sheet so that the base terminal and the interposer terminal face each other; an interposer supply unit configured to continuously supply interposers to the converter unit, the interposer supply unit has carriers that hold the interposers, and a conveyer belt on which the carriers are removably attached and which conveys the attached carriers, and is configured to convey the interposers via the carriers; and wherein the interposer supply unit comprises an interval adjusting mechanism configured to adjust a conveying interval between adjacent carriers.
