Abstract

A method of assembling an integrated circuit (IC) by a TAB (Tape Automated Bonding) system, and an IC assembled thereby. Leads extending from a TAB tape and connected to an IC are each partly reduced in width. Hence, even when the end portions of the leads are deformed by some object by accident, it is not necessary to correct the shape of the leads since such end portions will be eventually cut off and discarded in the event of packaging of the IC.
