The hydrophilic treatment step includes a step of performing a N2 RIE treatment to perform reactive ion etching using N2 gas on the joint surfaces of the substrates and a step of performing a N2 radical treatment to irradiate the joint surfaces of the substrates with N2 radicals after the step of performing the N2 RIE treatment.
Abstract:
This chip mounting system simultaneously images an alignment mark disposed on a substrate (WT) and an alignment mark disposed on a chip (CP), with the alignment marks disposed on the substrate (WT) and the chip (CP) being separated by a first distance at which the alignment marks fall within a depth-of-field range of imaging devices (35a, 35b). The chip mounting system calculates a relative positional deviation amount between the substrate (WT) and the chip (CP) from the imaged images of the alignment marks imaged by the imaging devices (35a, 35b) and, based on the calculated positional deviation amount, relatively moves the chip (CP) with respect to the substrate (WT) in a direction in which the positional deviation amount therebetween decreases.
Abstract:
A substrate bonding apparatus includes a vacuum chamber, a surface activation part for activating respective bonding surfaces of a first substrate and a second substrate, and stage moving mechanisms for bringing the two bonding surfaces into contact with each other, to thereby bond the substrates. In order to activate the bonding surfaces in the vacuum chamber, the bonding surfaces are irradiated with a particle beam for activating the bonding surfaces, and concurrently the bonding surfaces are also irradiated with silicon particles. It is thereby possible to increase the bonding strength of the substrates.
