Abstract:
A method of handling chip elements, wherein said method is associated with the use of a chip element holder, said holder as a whole is a plate member, one of its main surfaces is provided with an adhesive surface capable of bonding predetermined surfaces of a plurality of chip elements so as to hold the chip elements on top of the main surface, said method comprising the steps of:providing said holder with several through holes, each through hole having an open end which can be at least partially closed by part of the predetermined surface of one of the chip elements, so that an external force may be exerted on predetermined outer surfaces of the chip elements bonded on the adhesive surface; preparing the chip element holder and a plurality of chip elements; bonding the predetermined outer surfaces of the chip elements on the adhesive surface of the chip element holder under a condition in which each chip element is set on a position aligned with one through hole; and holding the chip elements on the chip element holder, wherein the external force is produced by a pressing force to the predetermined outer surfaces of the chip elements by way of the through holes, therein enabling the chip elements to be separated from the chip element holder.
