Patent ID: 8484820

Claim:
An apparatus for fabricating a semiconductor device by mounting, on a substrate having electrodes, a semiconductor chip that has obverse electrodes provided at an obverse side of the semiconductor chip, and reverse electrodes provided at a reverse side of the semiconductor chip so as to oppose the obverse electrodes, the reverse electrodes being electrically connected to the obverse electrodes, the obverse electrodes and the reverse electrodes sandwiching the semiconductor chip therebetween, the obverse electrodes to be joined to the electrodes of the substrate, the apparatus comprising: a holding member at which a plurality of attracting openings are formed so as to attract a plurality of attraction regions to hold the semiconductor chip from the reverse side, wherein the attraction regions exist at regions of the reverse side other than regions at which are provided any of the reverse electrodes; and a driving section driving the holding member, that is holding the semiconductor chip at the attraction regions, so as to make positions of the obverse electrodes and the electrodes of the substrate coincide such that the semiconductor chip and the substrate are joined together.
