Aligning device and method for producing electronic component using the algining device

An aligning device comprising:

• a first transfer jig including a cavity that includes a first recess and a second recess configured such that an alignment object to be transferred is capable of being transferred into the cavity, the first recess opening towards a principal surface, the second recess being adjacent to the first recess in a depth direction and communicating with the first recess;
• and
• a second transfer jig including a cavity that includes a first recess and a second recess configured such that the alignment object is capable of being transferred into the cavity of the second transfer jig, the first recess of the second transfer jig opening towards the principal surface, the second recess of the second transfer jig being adjacent to the first recess of the second transfer jig in the depth direction and communicating with the first recess of the second transfer jig;
• wherein
• in plan view, the first recess of the first transfer jig has a shape and dimensions that allow an entire region of the second recess of the first transfer jig to be situated within the first recess of the first transfer jig by a predetermined interval;
• in plan view, the first recess of the second transfer jig has a shape and dimensions that allow an entire region of the second recess of the second transfer jig to be situated within the first recess of the second transfer jig by a predetermined interval;
• when the first transfer jig and the second transfer jig are caused to overlap with each other, in plan view, the first recess of the second transfer jig has the shape and dimensions that allow the entire region of the second recess of the first transfer jig to be situated within the first recess of the second transfer jig by a predetermined interval;
• and
• with the alignment object being transferred into the cavity of the first transfer jig, by causing the first transfer jig and the second transfer jig to overlap with each other so that the principal surfaces oppose each other, the alignment object transferred into the cavity of the first transfer jig is transferred to the cavity of the second transfer jig.
