Abstract
A chip is bonded to a tape for ready handling. A flipping mechanism picks up the chip from the tape and sets it in an inverted state. An aligning/mounting mechanism is adapted to align and accurately mount the chip on associated electrodes of a test board. Another flipping mechanism re-sets a post-tested chip onto the tape conveyed by a conveying mechanism.
