Abstract
A reel tape includes a base tape for reel winding, a chip mounting section on the base tape, on which a bare chip is to be mounted and an adhesive layer coated on the chip mounting section. The bare chip is provisionally bonded to the chip mounting section with the adhesive layer interposed therebetween such that the bare chip is detachable. Therefore, the bare chip can be detached from the tape for chip testing, for example, and mounted on the tape again after the testing. The reel tape further includes a protector, e.g. a bar, provided on the base tape and along the chip mounting section in a tape conveying direction. The protector prevents the bare chip from contacting an overlaying portion of the base tape when the base tape is wound on a reel.
