An object is to provide a tablet manufacturing apparatus capable of supplying an IC chip (4) to a desired position of pharmaceutical powder with a high accuracy and suppressing a positional displacement. The IC chip (4) is supported by a positioning guide (61) with a chip main body (6) in a downward manner, and is held in a state of being positioned above pharmaceutical powder (90) filled in a die hole before compression. The IC chip (4) is supplied by a pusher (82).本發明是以提供可將IC晶片(4)精度良好地供應至藥劑粉末的預定位置，可抑制位置偏移的藥片製造裝置為目的。IC晶片(4)是以晶片主體(6)向下的姿勢支撐於定位導件(61)，在填充於壓縮前的臼孔之中的藥劑粉末(90)的上方位置被以定位的狀態保持著。IC晶片(4)是以推桿(82)供應。
