Abstract
A bonding apparatus is provided. This bonding apparatus uses images captured by an imaging apparatus and performs a packaging process for a semiconductor chip and additional processes other than the packaging process. The bonding apparatus is provided with: an aperture switching mechanism provided in an optical system of the imaging apparatus and capable of switching between a first aperture and a second aperture that has an aperture hole diameter greater than that of the first aperture; and a control unit which controls the aperture switching mechanism to switch to either the first aperture or the second aperture. The control unit performs the packaging process using an image captured by switching to the first aperture and performs the additional processes using an image captured by switching to the second aperture.
