Abstract
Abstract The present invention provides an improved chip mounting method for mounting an IC chip on a substrate, comprising the steps of; integrally molding a projection on the substrate, the projection being located on a surface of the substrate on which the IC chip will be mounted; forming a conductive pattern on the projection and on a necessary portion of the substrate; forming a connecting layer on the conductive pattern formed on the projection; and fixing said IC chip on the substrate while electrically connecting an exposed electrode of the IC chip with the conductive pattern formed on the projection through the connecting layer.
