In a method of fabricating an integrated circuit device having a
three-dimensional stacked structured, the step of fixing many chip-shaped
semiconductor circuits to a support substrate or a circuit layer with a
predetermined layout can be performed easily and efficiently with a
desired accuracy. Temporary adhesion portions 12b of semiconductor chips
13 are temporarily adhered to corresponding temporary adhesion regions
72a of a carrier substrate 73a by way of water films 81. The carrier
substrate 73a is then pressed toward a support substrate or a desired
circuit layer, thereby contacting connecting portions 12 of the chips 13
on the carrier substrate 73a with corresponding predetermined positions
on the support substrate or a circuit layer. Thereafter, by fixing the
connecting portions 12 to the predetermined positions, the chips 13 are
attached to the support substrate or the circuit layer with a desired
layout.
