(49) As shown in
(50) The NCF of the second semiconductor wafer W2 is steadily deformed by the provisional pressure bonding load Ft of the provisional pressure bonding unit 6. Here, a counterforce is produced in the second semiconductor wafer W2 that is produced by the viscous resistance of the NCF to the provisional pressure bonding load Ft. The counterforce produced by viscous resistance of the NCF in the second semiconductor wafer W2 increases according to the amount of deformation of the NCF that has been sandwiched between the solder Pa of the second semiconductor wafer W2 and the through-electrodes Pb of the first semiconductor wafer W1. Accordingly, the position of the second semiconductor wafer W2, to which the provisional pressure bonding load Ft is applied, in the Z axis direction is set upon reaching an amount of deformation of the NCF at which a counterforce is produced by viscous resistance that is proportionate to the provisional pressure bonding load Ft.
(51) Specifically, the position of the second semiconductor wafer W2 in the Z axis direction in the provisional pressure bonding step is determined by the viscosity of the NCF and the provisional pressure bonding load Ft. Therefore, as shown in

In step S170, the controller 31 uses the provisional pressure bonding unit 6 to perform provisional pressure bonding by pressing the m-th semiconductor wafer W(m) held by suction to the provisional pressure bonding attachment 9 against the (m1)-th semiconductor wafer W(m1) on the provisional pressure bonding stage 4 for a specific length of time at the provisional pressure bonding load Ft, and the flow proceeds to step S180.

(78) In step S280, the controller 31 determines whether or not the cutting of the first semiconductor wafer W1 by the provisional pressure bonding unit 6 has ended.
(79) As a result, if it is determined that the cutting of the first semiconductor wafer W1 by the provisional pressure bonding unit 6 is complete, that is, if a plurality of the provisional pressure-bonded laminate chip parts PL are determined to be complete, the controller 31 ends the cutting step control B, and the flow proceeds to step S300 (see
(80) On the other hand, if it is determined that the cutting of the first semiconductor wafer W1 by the provisional pressure bonding unit 6 is not complete, that is, if it is determined that a plurality of the provisional pressure-bonded laminate chip parts PL are not complete, the controller 31 proceeds to step S250.
(81) As shown in
(82) In step S320, the controller 31 uses the main pressure bonding unit 26 to fix a plurality of the provisional pressure-bonded laminate chip parts PL by pressing for a specific length of time at the main pressure bonding load Fp, ends the main pressure bonding step control C, and ends this step. A memory device having a laminated structure is manufactured by these steps.
(83) With this configuration, the semiconductor mounting device 1 is such that the first semiconductor wafer W1, the second semiconductor wafer W2, and the third semiconductor wafer W3, on which a plurality of chip parts P are formed, are laminated on the support substrate S0. That is, because the support substrate S0 is used in the provisional pressure bonding step, the semiconductor mounting device 1 simultaneously produces a plurality of laminate chip parts PL (memory devices) all at once while suppressing warping of the semiconductor wafers W. Furthermore, the semiconductor mounting device 1 selectively uses a plurality of dicing plates 18 having different blade widths to cut the provisional pressure-bonded laminate WL. That is, in the cutting step, the semiconductor mounting device 1 produces the provisional pressure-bonded laminate chip parts PL while suppressing deviation during cutting due to contact or the like with the dicing blade 18 by cutting the next semiconductor wafer W with a dicing blade 18 having a thinner cutting width. Also, the semiconductor mounting device 1 performs main pressure bonding after cutting the provisional pressure-bonded laminate WL within a specific range Gt in which the spacing between the adjacent through-electrodes Pb and the solder Pa is sufficiently small. That is, in the cutting step and the main pressure bonding step, the semiconductor mounting device 1 produces laminate chip parts PL, as memory devices, while suppressing deviation during cutting and the occurrence of voids. Also, the semiconductor mounting device 1 expels laminate chip parts PLd that include defective chip parts on the basis of information about defective chip parts. That is, the semiconductor mounting device 1 expels laminate chip parts PLd that are defective for some reason other than cutting. This shortens how long it takes to manufacture a memory device or other such semiconductor device in which chip parts P are laminated and also makes it less likely that there will be joining defects between chip parts P. Also, with the semiconductor mounting device 1, in the provisional pressure bonding step, the occurrence of voids is suppressed by performing the provisional pressure bonding of the first semiconductor wafer W1, the second semiconductor wafer W2, and the third semiconductor wafer W3 in a vacuum oven. This shortens how long it takes to manufacture a memory device or other such semiconductor device in which chip parts P are laminated and also makes it less likely that there will be joining defects between chip parts P.
