Abstract:
There is disclosed a method including an applying step of applying a sealing agent onto either one of two substrates, a dropping step of dropping a predetermined amount of a liquid crystal onto either one of the two substrates, a leaving step of leaving the substrate on which the liquid crystal has been dropped to stand under a reduced pressure atmosphere for a predetermined time, and a bonding step of bonding the two substrates onto each other under the reduced pressure atmosphere, after leaving the substrate on which the liquid crystal has been dropped under the reduced pressure atmosphere for the predetermined time.
Abstract:
For the vacuum pumping performed for a chamber, the opening of a valve communicating with a vacuum pump is controlled to change the intake resistance of a pipe from high to low, and to suppress an exhaust air stream occurring when vacuum pumping is started. Further, in the process (vacuum venting) for recovering the atmospheric pressure in the chamber, a recovery valve is controlled to change, from high to low, the inflow resistance of a gas introduced into the chamber, so that the amount of the gas introduced into the chamber 2 at the beginning of the vacuum venting is reduced. Therefore, since the air stream in the chamber 2 can be moderated during the vacuum pumping and the vacuum venting, the deterioration of the electric characteristics of the substrates by the stirring up of dust in the chamber and the attachment of the dust to the substrates can be avoided, and high-quality laminated substrates can be provided at a high manufacturing yield.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A vacuum processing apparatus produces fluorine radicals by activating a fluorinating gas containing at least fluorine atoms and fluorinates the surface of a component formed of an organic material (32) exposed to an atmosphere of a processing chamber (2) before carrying an object (S) into the processing chamber (2). The object (S) is carried into the processing chamber (2) after the completion of a fluorinating process. The object (S) is processed with a processing gas containing at least oxygen radicals. Etching of the component formed of the organic material (32) can be prevented by the fluorination of surface of the component formed of the organic material (32) and exposed to an atmosphere in the processing chamber (2).
