- On the lower surface of the shower head for example, a plurality of supply ports for supplying process gas are formed. Then, the processing gas is uniformly supplied from the shower head into the plasma generation region R1.
- oxygen gas is used as the processing gas.
- other gases such as argon gas and nitrogen gas may be used.
- the surfaces W U1 and W L1 of the wafers W U and W L can be modified by the ions of the processing gas.
- the case where the surfaces W U1 and W L1 of the wafers W U and W L on which the SiO 2 film is formed is modified, but the wafer W on which another film, for example, a SiN film is formed, is described.
- U even when modifying the surface W U1, W L1 of W L can be applied to the present invention.
- the present invention can be applied to the case where the surfaces W U1 and W L1 of the bare wafers W U and W L on which no film is formed are modified.
- the bonded wafer W T may be heated at a predetermined temperature, for example, 400 ° C. By performing the heat treatment according to the overlapped wafer W T, it is possible to more firmly bond the bonding interface.
- the present invention is not limited to such examples. It is obvious for those skilled in the art that various modifications or modifications can be conceived within the scope of the idea described in the claims, and these naturally belong to the technical scope of the present invention. It is understood.
- the present invention is not limited to this example and can take various forms.
- the present invention can also be applied to a case where the substrate is another substrate such as an FPD (flat panel display) other than a wafer or a mask reticle for a photomask.
- FPD flat panel display

Abstract
La présente invention concerne un appareil de modification de surface comprenant : une chambre de traitement dans laquelle un substrat est contenu ; une partie étage disposée dans la chambre de traitement et sur laquelle le substrat est disposé ; un mécanisme d'amenée de gaz amenant un gaz de traitement dans la chambre de traitement ; et un mécanisme de production de plasma modifiant le gaz de traitement en plasma dans la chambre de traitement. L'intérieur de la chambre de traitement est divisé, par une structure perméable aux ions, en une zone de production de plasma dans laquelle le gaz de traitement est changé en plasma et en une zone de traitement dans laquelle la surface du substrat disposé sur la partie étage est modifiée au moyen d'ions du gaz de traitement produit dans la zone de production de plasma. La structure perméable aux ions est pourvue : d'une paire d'électrodes sur lesquelles une tension prédéterminée est appliquée ; et d'une partie d'ouverture à travers laquelle les ions du gaz de traitement passent de la zone de production de plasma à la zone de traitement.
