20120081702METHOD OF INSPECTING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - Reliability of a semiconductor device is improved. In a flatness inspection of BGA (semiconductor device), there is formed a flatness standard where a permissible range in the direction of (+) of flatness at normal temperature is smaller than a permissible range in the direction of (−).
