Abstract

A bonding method of applying vibrations to a metal unit including copper while pressing the metal unit onto a bonding object to bond the metal unit to the bonding object is provided. The method includes: applying vibrations to the metal unit and bringing the metal unit into contact with the bonding object while applying the vibrations; gradually increasing a pressing load of the metal unit on the bonding object to a first pressing load; and reducing the pressing load to a second pressing load smaller than the first pressing load and gradually increasing an output power of the vibrations from a first output power to a second output power after the pressing load reaches the first pressing load, the first output power being applied during the first pressing load.
