Abstract

A bonding apparatus includes: a reference plane; a bonding arm configured to be rotated about a rotation center that is arranged separately from the reference plane and to move a capillary attached at a tip end thereof obliquely toward and away from the reference plane; and an imaging device for optically detecting bonding positions on a semiconductor chip and/or a lead frame, in which an angle between an optical axis being heading for the imaging device from the reference plane and the reference plane is approximately equal to an angle between a motion trajectory of a tip end of the capillary and the reference plane, and thereby the bonding apparatus can have a wide bonding area with a simple mechanism as well as perform high-speed and high-accuracy bonding.
