Abstract:
1. A semiconductor wafer mounting method for mounting a semiconductor wafer on a ring frame via a supporting adhesive tape, comprising: prior to generating a mount frame having the ring frame integrate with the semiconductor via the adhesive tape, (A) discriminating a carrying-out object between the semiconductor wafer and a spacer; (B) discriminating a protective tape from the semiconductor wafer; and (C) discriminating a circuit surface of the semiconductor wafer; wherein (B) is performed in accordance with the result of (A), (C) is performed in accordance with the result of (B), and (A) to (C) are performed as follows: (D) after performing (A) to (C), placing the semiconductor wafer having the surface with the protective tape or the circuit surface directed downward by the transport mechanism onto an alignment stage and aligning the semiconductor wafer with the alignment stage, (E) joining the supporting adhesive tape over both the surface of the semiconductor wafer that is directed upward and the ring frame with a tape joining mechanism, (F) reversing the semiconductor wafer with the protective tape, placing the semiconductor wafer on a holding table by the transport mechanism, and separating the protective tape from the semiconductor wafer with a separating mechanism; (G) collecting only the mount frame from which the protective tape is separated; and (H) transporting the spacer discriminated in (A) into a spacer-collecting section by the transport mechanism.
