Salient electrodes on a semiconductor chip and leads on a film substrate
are to be connected together with a high accuracy. A change in lead pitch
which occurs at the time of connecting salient electrodes on a
semiconductor chip and inner leads on a film substrate with each other is
taken into account and a correction is made beforehand to the pitch of
the inner leads. Likewise, a change in lead pitch which occurs at the
time of connecting electrodes on a liquid crystal substrate and outer
leads on the film substrate with each other is taken into account and a
correction is made beforehand to the pitch of the outer leads.
