Abstract

An outer bonding tool is used for bonding outer leads of a tape carrier on corresponding pads which are formed on a circuit substrate by solder after bonding inner leads of the tape carrier and electrodes of a generally rectangular semiconductor chip. The outer bonding tool includes a main body having a bottom surface, a pressing surface provided at the bottom surface of the main body for pressing against the outer leads of the tape carrier, where the pressing surface has a generally rectangular frame shape, and a groove formed in the pressing surface and extending generally perpendicularly to a corresponding group of outer leads extending from one side of the semiconductor chip. A width of the groove taken in a direction in which the corresponding group of outer leads extend is smaller than a length of the outer leads.
