Apparatus and method for mounting semiconductor light-emitting element

Abstract

When bump electrodes 26 of a semiconductor light-emitting element 2 and electrode portions 21 of a mounting board 3 are joined to each other, power is supplied to the electrode portions 21 of the mounting board 3 to allow the semiconductor light-emitting element 2 to emit light, the optical properties of the semiconductor light-emitting element 2 having emitted light are detected, and the detected value of optical properties is processed to obtain the joining state of the bump electrodes 26 of the semiconductor light-emitting element 2 and the electrode portions 21 of the mounting board 3, so that the completion of joining is determined. Thus, the semiconductor light-emitting element can be satisfactorily joined to the electrode portions on the mounting board via the metal electrodes formed on the semiconductor light-emitting element.
