The present invention includes: a position detection unit (55) detecting positions of semiconductor chips and storing each detected position in a position database (56); a position correction unit (57) outputting a corrected bonding position; and a bonding control unit (58) performing bonding of the semiconductor chips based on the corrected bonding position input from the position correction unit (57). The position correction unit (57) calculates position shift amounts between the semiconductor chips of respective stages and an accumulated position shift amount, and when the accumulated position shift amount is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold value, corrects the position of the semiconductor chip by the accumulated position shift amount and outputs it as the corrected bonding position, and the bonding control unit (58) performs bonding of the semiconductor chip of the next stage at the corrected bonding position input from the position correction unit.

A semiconductor device is formed by providing a semiconductor die. A laser-assisted bonding (LAB) assembly is disposed over the semiconductor die. The LAB assembly includes an infrared (IR) camera. The IR camera is used to capture an image of the semiconductor die. Image processing is performed on the image to identify corners of the semiconductor die. Regions of interest (ROI) are identified in the image relative to the corners of the semiconductor die. Parameters can be used to control the size and location of the ROI relative to the respective corners. The ROI are monitored for temperature using the IR camera while LAB is performed.

According to one embodiment, in a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus, a controller relatively moves a bonding tool and a stage close to each other while causing a semiconductor chip to adhere by suction to a surface via a tape using at least a first suction structure in a first period.

A method and system for heat bonding a chip to a substrate by means of heat bonding material disposed there between. At least the substrate is preheated from an initial temperature to an elevated temperature below a damage temperature of the substrate. A light pulse applied to the chip momentarily increases the chip temperature to a pulsed peak temperature below a peak damage temperature of the chip. The momentarily increased pulsed peak temperature of the chip causes a flow of conducted heat from the chip to the bonding material, causing the bonding material to form a bond.
