Abstract
Cut pieces of a flexible tape respectively having positioning holes are superposed on a substrate having positioning holes, while positioning the substrate and the cut pieces by inserting a positioning pin into the positioning holes respectively, so that one side of the substrate faces one side of the cut pieces. Subsequently, internal terminals provided on the substrate are ultrasonically joined with internal terminals provided on the cut pieces by pressing an ultrasonic tool from the other side of the cut pieces. As a result, connection between these can be performed highly accurately. Further, since the internal terminals are ultrasonically joined with each other, operation time does not increase in proportion to the number of terminals, as in the connection using a bonding wire, and misregistration due to heat does not occur. Accordingly, connections between circuit boards are performed efficiently, highly accurately, and reliably.
