Abstract

A carrier tool having a protective ring with a sheet extended over an underside of the ring is used, a semiconductor wafer is made to adhere to the sheet, the semiconductor wafer, being surrounded by the protective ring, is carried from a container device to a bonding stage. Bonding is performed on the bonding stage, and the wafer is carried out to another container device, consequently damage of the wafer is avoided.
