The present invention provides an IC chip mounting method for mounting two
or more IC chips on a base, including: 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; sequentially pressing the
IC chips on the wafer against a first roller to allow the chips to be
sucked onto the first roller; subsequently transferring the IC chips
sucked onto the first roller to a second roller; and subsequently
mounting the IC chips transferred to the second roller on the traveling
base.
