Patent ID: 7222772

Claim:
A flip chip bonder comprising substrate holding means arranged in a chip die bonding area and a chip die bonder for bonding a semiconductor chip having a plurality of electrodes projecting from its front surface to a substrate to be implemented, held on the substrate holding means, wherein the flip chip bonder comprises a chuck table for holding a semiconductor chip, which can be moved to a semiconductor chip take-in area, a semiconductor chip take-out area and an electrode cutting area, a mechanical cutting means having a cutting tool with a cutting blade for cutting the plurality of electrodes projecting from the front surface of the semiconductor chip held on the chuck table and arranged in the electrode cutting area to make them uniform in height, a semiconductor chip take-in means for carrying a semiconductor chip before processing to the chuck table positioned in the semiconductor chip take-in area, and a semiconductor chip conveying means for carrying a semiconductor chip after processing, which is held on the chuck table positioned in the semiconductor chip take-out area, to the chip die bonder, and comprises a processing fluid supply means for supplying a processing fluid toward the semiconductor chip held on the chuck table in the electrode cutting area.
