A method of manufacturing a semiconductor structure, comprising:
- providing a pick-and-place tool comprising an attaching head having a convex surface;
- bringing the convex surface of the attaching head towards a chip to attract the chip by a suction force, wherein the chip deforms according to the convex surface of the attaching head when being attracted by the attaching head;
- applying a first suction force on an edge portion of the chip and applying a second suction force, which is smaller than the first suction force, on a center portion of the chip to deform the chip;
- and
- bonding the chip to a package substrate by the pick-and-place tool.
