An apparatus and method determine a size of a bonding film for bonding a bonding target having a size which varies due to temperature variation, at an environmental temperature which is different from a temperature during use. The method includes measuring an actual size of the bonding portion of the circuit electrode at the first temperature, comparing the actual size of the bonding portion with a designed size of the bonding portion at the first temperature, and determining a cutting size of the bonding material based on a comparison result and mounting the bonding material over the bonding portion.

Method and apparatus for determining processing size of bonding material

A pressurizing method for pressurizing a second component arranged on a first component, against the first component by using a pressurizing apparatus having a stage on which the first component is mounted, a tool, and a protection sheet supplying section. The tool is disposed so as to face the stage and moved between a first position at which the tool faces the first and second components while spaced therefrom, and a second position at which the tool is biased toward the stage to pressurize the second component against the first component. When the tool is at the second position, the protection sheet supplying section supplies a protection sheet so that the protection sheet is placed between the second component and the tool.

Pressurizing method

A clean space system prevents pollution of clean surroundings in a processing space. Pollution is avoided which could otherwise occur when a worker comes in contact with the processing space while carrying out processes and operations in the clean surroundings. The apparatus includes a clean processing space, in which the processes and operations are carried out, and a preparing space coupled with an opening for work in the processing space. The preparing space is used by the worker prior to entering the processing space. In the preparing space, the worker performs preliminary actions such as changing his clothes and cleaning himself using an air shower to remove particles from his body.

Clean space system

A clean space having a desired total volume is formed by coupling unit room bodies in sequence. Alterations in the configuration of clarifying and air-conditioning facilities are carried out easily and quickly, even if the structure and disposition of the clean space are altered. Each of the unit room bodies includes an air-circulator such as a fan unit and a dust catcher such as an air-filter. Each of the unit room bodies also includes an air conditioner-setting space shut off from the clean space in the interior of the unit room body.

Coupling type clean space apparatus

A centrifugal separation process which is made continuous and automatic by determining the position for taking out the liquid container (8) accurately within a short time, with a liquid container (8) containing liquid for separation being kept by a basket (7) which is suspended and freely rotatable on the tip of a rotary arm (6), by positioning a circumferential direction of the rotary arm (6) by means of a rotary arm direction detector and a rotary arm positioning device and by stopping a basket (7) horizontally at a predetermined position by a basket positioning device (14).
