The semiconductor chip is then pressed toward the interconnection substrate. A second light is then applied from the second surface side of the semiconductor chip while the semiconductor chip is being pressed toward the interconnection substrate to melt the metal bump. After the melting, the melted metal bump is allowed to resolidify by the stopping or reducing of the application of the second light.
