Among other things a method including releasing a discrete component from an interim handle and depositing a discrete component on a handle substrate, attaching the handle substrate to the discrete component, and removing the handle substrate from the discrete component.

The present invention has: a heater; and a bonding tool having a lower surface on which a memory chip is adsorbed; and an upper surface attached to the heater, and is provided with a bonding tool which presses the peripheral edge of the memory chip to a solder ball in a first peripheral area of the lower surface and which presses the center of the memory chip (60) to a DAF having a heat resistance temperature lower than that of the solder ball in a first center area. The amount of heat transmitted from the first center area to the center of the memory chip is smaller than that transmitted from the first peripheral area (A) to the peripheral edge of the memory chip. Thus, the bonding apparatus in which the center of a bonding member can be heated to a temperature lower than that at the peripheral edge can be provided.

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. In a second period, the controller controls the temperature of the bonding tool to a first target temperature while keeping substantially equal to a target pressure a pressure applied to the semiconductor chip by the bonding tool. In a third period, the controller controls a relative distance between the bonding tool and the stage so that the pressure applied to the semiconductor chip by the bonding tool is kept equal to the target pressure and controls the temperature of the bonding tool to a second target temperature. The second target temperature is higher than the first target temperature.
