Mounting apparatus

A mounting apparatus, for mounting a chip component on a substrate via a paste, comprising:

• a paste application part that applies the paste on the substrate under predetermined application conditions to form an application body;
• a bonding part that forms a mounted body obtained by mounting the chip component on the substrate under predetermined mounting conditions via the application body;
• a first imaging part that images the application body after application processing of the paste and before mounting processing of the chip component to acquire first image information;
• a second imaging part that images the mounted body after the mounting processing to acquire second image information;
• and
• a control part that controls the paste application part, the bonding part, and the first and second imaging part, and obtains a three-dimensional shape of the application body from the first image information as a first shape and calculates a three-dimensional shape of the mounted body from the second image information as a second shape,
• wherein the control part obtains a paste error which is a result of comparison between the first shape and a first target shape that is a target shape of the application body and a final error which is a result of comparison between the second shape and a second target shape that is a target shape of the mounted body, and evaluates the mounting processing by a mounting error that is obtained by modifying the final error based on the paste error.
