Abstract
An IC carrier includes a carrier body for retaining a flexible wiring sheet and an IC in an opposing relation. The carrier body has suction holes formed in a flexible wiring sheet placing surface thereof and extending all the way through the carrier body. A negative pressure is applied to the flexible wiring sheet through the suction holes, thereby retaining a relative position between the flexible wiring sheet and the carrier body.
