An IC chip mounting method which mounts two or more IC chips on a base,
includes: preparing a wafer by mounting a tape on a face thereof, which
is the reverse of the wafer having a mounting surface to be attached to
the base, and by dividing the wafer into IC chips by dicing while leaving
the tape; positioning the wafer to face the base in such a direction that
the mounting surface to be attached to the base faces the base;
sequentially pressing the IC chips on the wafer against the base and
temporarily fixing the IC chips while the base is being fed in a
prescribed one-dimensional direction along the wafer and while the wafer
is being moved two-dimensionally along the base; and fixing the IC chips
temporarily fixed on the base on the base by heating and pressurizing in
a batch manner.
