Abstract
A die pickup apparatus facilitates picking up a semiconductor die in a manner such that, in a state in which a semiconductor die to be picked up is suctioned by a collet, a frontal end of a cover plate is caused to extend from a contact surface, and the cover plate is caused to slide while pushing up a dicing sheet and the semiconductor die, and subsequently a rear end of the cover plate is caused to extend from the contact surface such that an upper surface of the cover plate is substantially in parallel with the contact surface, the cover plate is caused to slide while pushing the dicing sheet and the semiconductor die with the upper surface of the cover plate such that the suction opening is opened, and the dicing sheet is suctioned into the opened suction opening, thereby separating the dicing sheet.
