1. A method of packaging a semiconductor apparatus having a circuit board made of glass or plastic on which electrodes of wiring are formed and having a semiconductor device on which electrodes are formed to be connected to said electrodes of wiring via bumps composed of a metallic material having a melting point exceeding the highest temperature at which said circuit board can be used when the semiconductor device is mounted on said circuit board, said method comprising:

  • a preparation step of preliminarily forming a substrate with bumps on which the bumps are positioned corresponding to the electrodes of said semiconductor device;

    a transferring/bonding process that includes the steps of,positioning said semiconductor device opposite to the substrate with bumps so that the electrodes of said semiconductor device are aligned with the bumps,applying a pressure to either said semiconductor device or said substrate with bumps so that one is pressed against the other,heating the electrodes of the semiconductor device and said bumps to form an alloy layer between said electrodes of the semiconductor device and said bumps, andthen transferring said bumps from the substrate to the electrodes of the semiconductor device;

    a re-alloying process that includes the steps of,positioning said semiconductor device opposite to said circuit board having said electrodes of wiring so that the bumps, which were transferred and bonded to the electrodes of the semiconductor device in said transferring/bonding process, are aligned with said electrodes of wiring,applying a pressure to either said semiconductor device or the circuit board so that one is pressed against the other,heating the electrodes of the semiconductor device and said bumps to form an alloy layer therebetween, which covers a wider range, and which strengthens the bonds between the electrodes of said semiconductor device and said bumps that were obtained in said transferring/bonding process; and

    a connecting step for strengthening an electrical connection between said bumps and said electrodes of wiring that includes the step of applying pressure without heating to either said semiconductor device or said circuit board so that one is pressed against the other after said re-alloying process.
