Abstract
The present invention is to provide a chip device bonding machine in which bubbles can be effectively prevented from remaining with the adhesive. A flexible board is moved on a base at every unit by the rotation of reels. In accordance with the movement of the flexible board, a new portion of a tape made of a film, a paper or the like is moved above the base. The tape is located between the flexible board and the base. A thermosetting adhesive is deposited on the flexible board on the base by an adhesive nozzle. An IC chip is placed on the flexible board on the base by an IC chip supply arm. A pressing arm including a heater presses and heats the IC chip toward the base side to interconnect the IC chip to the flexible hoard. When the IC chip is heated and pressed by the pressing arm, the tape is concaved at its portions corresponding to bumps and consequently the flexible board is deformed, whereby bubbles produced within the adhesive are pushed out to the outside. Thus, the bubbles can be removed from the adhesive.
