Patent ID: 7455213

Claim:
A method of manufacturing semiconductor devices, in which each semiconductor device including a substrate for mounting semiconductor components thereon and plate-shaped semiconductor components having solder balls on surfaces thereof, the plate-shaped semiconductor components being jointed to the substrate for mounting semiconductor components, the method comprising: preparing an apparatus for manufacturing the semiconductor devices including a base having a plurality of receiving portions for receiving the semiconductor components therein while restricting movement of each of the semiconductor components in a direction parallel to a top surface of each semiconductor component; placing the semiconductor components within the plurality of receiving portions of the base, respectively; mounting the substrates on the semiconductor components placed within the plurality of receiving portions; conveying the apparatus for manufacturing the semiconductor devices with the substrates inside of a reflow furnace; subjecting the semiconductor components and the substrates to a reflow process to join the semiconductor components to the substrates; and removing the semiconductor components from the apparatus to obtain the semiconductor devices, wherein each of the plurality of receiving portions has a bottom surface, and each of the plurality of receiving portions communicates with a suction flow path for attracting the semiconductor component toward a bottom surface side of the receiving portion, wherein the method further comprises attracting the semiconductor components to the bottom surfaces of the plurality of receiving portions between the mounting step and the conveying step.
