A manufacturing apparatus of a semiconductor device includes: a stage; a bonding head, including a mounting tool, a tool heater, and a lifting and lowering mechanism; and a controller performing bonding processing. The controller performs, in the bonding processing: first processing in which, after a chip is brought into contact with a substrate, as heating of the chip is started, the chip is pressurized against the substrate; distortion elimination processing in which, after the first processing and before melting of a bump, the lifting and lowering mechanism is driven in a lifting direction, thereby eliminating distortion of the bonding head; and second processing in which, after the distortion elimination processing, position control is performed on the lifting and lowering mechanism so as to cancel thermal expansion and contraction of the bonding head, thereby maintaining a gap amount at a specified target value.

A method of forming one or more semiconductor packages includes mounting one or more semiconductor dies on the metal strip such that the one or more semiconductor dies are in a flip chip arrangement whereby terminals of the one or more semiconductor dies face the upper surface of the metal strip, forming an electrically insulating encapsulant material on the upper surface of the metal strip that encapsulates the one or more semiconductor dies, and forming package terminals that are electrically connected with the terminals of the one or more semiconductor dies, wherein the package terminals are formed from the metal strip or from metal that is deposited after removing the metal strip.

An electronic component bonding machine is provided. The electronic component bonding machine includes: a support structure for supporting a substrate; a bond head assembly for holding an electronic component, and for bonding the electronic component to the substrate; and a measuring system for measuring a distance between (i) an upper target on the electronic component bonding machine and (ii) a lower target on the electronic component bonding machine, the upper target including at least one of a portion of the bond head assembly and the electronic component, the lower target including at least one of a portion of the support structure and the substrate.
