Description

接着装置およびそれを用いて作製した接着基板Bonding apparatus and bonded substrate manufactured using the same
 本発明は、例えば絶縁体基板に複数の半導体基板を接着させるために使用することができる接着装置、およびこの接着装置を用いて作製される接着基板に関する。 The present invention relates to a bonding apparatus that can be used for bonding a plurality of semiconductor substrates to, for example, an insulating substrate, and a bonding substrate manufactured using the bonding apparatus.
 中小型LCD(液晶ディスプレイ)用のTFT(薄膜トランジスタ)としては、多結晶Siである低温ポリシリコンが主流となっているが、低温ポリシリコンは結晶粒径が小さいため、特性のバラツキが大きくなる。結晶粒径のない単結晶を形成することによって、バラツキを小さくすることができるが、通常の成膜方法を用いて、大型基板上に単結晶Siを形成することは困難である。そこで、ガラス基板上に、単結晶Siウエハーを貼り付ける技術の検討が行われている。 As a TFT (thin film transistor) for small and medium-sized LCDs (liquid crystal displays), low-temperature polysilicon, which is polycrystalline Si, is the mainstream, but low-temperature polysilicon has a small crystal grain size, so that the variation in characteristics increases. Although the variation can be reduced by forming a single crystal having no crystal grain size, it is difficult to form single crystal Si on a large substrate using a normal film formation method. Therefore, a technique for attaching a single crystal Si wafer on a glass substrate has been studied.
 例えば、特許文献1には、複数のドナー半導体ウエハーのそれぞれの第一の表面をガラス基板と接触させ;電解を用いて、複数のドナー半導体ウエハーの第一の表面をガラス基板と結合させ;ガラス基板から複数のドナー半導体ウエハーを分離して、ガラス基板に結合したそれぞれの剥離層を残し;剥離層の露出表面上にさらに別の半導体層を成膜して、剥離層の厚さを増加させる各工程を有してなる方法および装置が記載されている。 For example, Patent Document 1 discloses that a first surface of each of a plurality of donor semiconductor wafers is brought into contact with a glass substrate; first surfaces of the plurality of donor semiconductor wafers are bonded to the glass substrate using electrolysis; Separating multiple donor semiconductor wafers from the substrate, leaving each release layer bonded to the glass substrate; depositing another semiconductor layer on the exposed surface of the release layer to increase the thickness of the release layer A method and apparatus comprising each step is described.
 また、大型のガラス基板に、より小さなSiウエハーを複数貼り付ける接着装置は、現在実用化されていないが、治具にそれぞれSiウエハーを並べた後、一気にガラス基板に貼り付ける方法が考えられており、例えば、特許文献2に記載されている。 In addition, an adhesive device for attaching a plurality of smaller Si wafers to a large glass substrate has not been put to practical use at present, but a method of adhering Si wafers to a glass substrate at a stretch after arranging each Si wafer on a jig is considered. For example, it is described in Patent Document 2.
 特許文献2には、第1の基板支持台上に複数の半導体基板を設け、第2の基板支持台上にベース基板を設け、複数の半導体基板の表面とベース基板の表面が所定の間隔をもって対向するように、第1の基板支持台の上方に第2の基板支持台を配置し、複数の半導体基板又はベース基板に帯電させ、複数の半導体基板の表面とベース基板の表面の間隔を狭めることにより、ベース基板の表面に複数の半導体基板を接触させ、ベース基板の表面と複数の半導体基板の表面を接合させることを特徴とするSOI基板の作製方法が記載されている。 In Patent Document 2, a plurality of semiconductor substrates are provided on a first substrate support, a base substrate is provided on a second substrate support, and the surface of the plurality of semiconductor substrates and the surface of the base substrate are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance. A second substrate support is disposed above the first substrate support so as to face each other, and the plurality of semiconductor substrates or the base substrate is charged to narrow the distance between the surfaces of the plurality of semiconductor substrates and the base substrate. Thus, a method for manufacturing an SOI substrate is described, in which a plurality of semiconductor substrates are brought into contact with the surface of the base substrate, and the surfaces of the base substrate and the surfaces of the plurality of semiconductor substrates are bonded.

 特許文献1には、複数のドナー半導体ウエハーをガラス基板と結合させる装置が製造される絶縁体上半導体の特徴に基づいて記載されているが、具体的な装置構成は記載されていない。そのため、効率的に複数のドナー半導体ウエハーを結合したガラス基板を製造する装置について、別途検討する必要がある。 Patent Document 1 describes the characteristics of a semiconductor-on-insulator in which a device for bonding a plurality of donor semiconductor wafers to a glass substrate is manufactured, but does not describe a specific device configuration. Therefore, it is necessary to separately examine an apparatus for manufacturing a glass substrate in which a plurality of donor semiconductor wafers are efficiently bonded.
 特許文献2に記載されているように、リフトピンに、直接、半導体基板を載せてリフトアップさせる構成となっているので、不安定であり、また、リフトピンと接触することによる傷付きが懸念される。また、リフトピン等を備えている機械的かつ複雑なステージを有する必要があるため、複雑かつ高価な接着装置となるという問題がある。 As described in Patent Document 2, the semiconductor substrate is directly mounted on the lift pins and lifted up. Therefore, the semiconductor substrate is unstable, and there is a concern about damage due to contact with the lift pins. . Moreover, since it is necessary to have a mechanical and complicated stage provided with a lift pin etc., there exists a problem that it becomes a complicated and expensive bonding apparatus.
 本発明は、上記課題に鑑みてなされたものであり、簡単な装置構成を用いることによって、接着装置のコストを下げることを目的としている。 The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and aims to reduce the cost of the bonding apparatus by using a simple apparatus configuration.
 そこで、上記の課題を解決するために、本発明に係る接着装置は、
 少なくとも一部分に伸縮性を有しており、第一の基板を配することができるシートと、
 上記第一の基板の接着対象である第二の基板を配することができる保持手段と、
 上記シートを伸長させて、当該シートを配した上記第一の基板を上記第二の基板に近づけて、第一の基板を第二の基板に接着させるシート伸縮手段と、
を備えていることを特徴としている。
Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the bonding apparatus according to the present invention is:
A sheet having stretchability at least in part and on which the first substrate can be disposed;
Holding means capable of arranging a second substrate to be bonded to the first substrate;
Sheet stretching means for extending the sheet, bringing the first substrate on which the sheet is disposed closer to the second substrate, and bonding the first substrate to the second substrate;
It is characterized by having.
 上記構成によれば、シートは少なくとも一部分に伸縮性を有しているため、上記シート伸縮手段によって、上記シートが保持手段に向かって伸長する。 According to the above configuration, since the sheet has elasticity at least in part, the sheet expands toward the holding means by the sheet expansion / contraction means.
 このようにシートを保持手段側に伸長させることにより、保持手段に配した第二の基板にシートを近づけることができる。 In this way, by extending the sheet toward the holding means, the sheet can be brought close to the second substrate disposed on the holding means.
 この原理を利用し、当該シートに第一の基板を配しておくことにより、シートの伸長に伴って、保持手段に配した第二の基板に当該第一の基板を近づけることができる。上記のように、両基板を近づけることによって、第一の基板と第二の基板とを接触させることができる。 By using this principle and arranging the first substrate on the sheet, the first substrate can be brought closer to the second substrate arranged on the holding means as the sheet extends. As described above, the first substrate and the second substrate can be brought into contact with each other by bringing the two substrates close to each other.
 これにより、シート伸縮手段により第一の基板を第二の基板に近づける際に、シートごと第一の基板が移動するので、シート伸縮手段が直接第一の基板に接触することがない。このため、シート伸縮手段としてリフトピンを用いたとしても第一の基板への傷付きを懸念する必要がない。また、シートごと第一の基板が移動するので、当該移動を安定的に実施することができる。 Thus, when the first substrate is moved closer to the second substrate by the sheet expansion / contraction means, the first substrate moves together with the sheet, so that the sheet expansion / contraction means does not directly contact the first substrate. For this reason, even if lift pins are used as the sheet expansion / contraction means, there is no need to worry about damage to the first substrate. Further, since the first substrate moves together with the sheet, the movement can be stably performed.
 本発明は、上記の構成の接着装置を用いて製造される、上記第一の基板と上記第二の基板とが接着した接着基板も含む。 The present invention also includes an adhesive substrate manufactured by using the bonding apparatus having the above-described configuration, in which the first substrate and the second substrate are bonded.
 上記構成によれば、複雑な機構を有していない上記接着装置を用いているため、安価な接着基板を作製することができるという効果を奏する。 According to the above configuration, since the above-described bonding apparatus that does not have a complicated mechanism is used, there is an effect that an inexpensive bonded substrate can be manufactured.
 本発明に係る接着装置は、少なくとも一部分に伸縮性を有しており、第一の基板を配することができるシートと、上記第一の基板の接着対象である第二の基板を配することができる保持手段と、上記シートを伸長させて、当該シートを配した上記第一の基板を上記第二の基板に近づけて、第一の基板を第二の基板に接着させるシート伸縮手段と、を備えている。 The bonding apparatus according to the present invention has a sheet that can be stretched at least in part and on which a first substrate can be disposed, and a second substrate that is an adhesion target of the first substrate. Holding means capable of extending the sheet, the sheet expansion means for extending the sheet, bringing the first substrate on which the sheet is disposed closer to the second substrate, and bonding the first substrate to the second substrate; It has.

[Adhesion method using an adhesion device]
Next, a method for bonding the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 using the bonding apparatus 20 will be described.

工程4:減圧解除による搬送用フィルム7とSiウエハー1との剥離
の4つの工程がこの順でおこなわれる。以下に各工程について詳述する。
FIGS. 2A to 2E are views for explaining each step of the bonding method according to the first embodiment. As a flow of the bonding method,
Step 1: Arrangement of the Si wafer 1 on the transport film 7
Step 2: setting the Si wafer 1 into the chamber 6 by moving the transport film 7;
Step 3: Adhesion between the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 with the lifting of the transport film 7 by decompression,
Process 4: Four processes of peeling with the conveyance film 7 and Si wafer 1 by pressure reduction cancellation | release are performed in this order. Each step will be described in detail below.
 (工程1)
 まず、図2の(a)において、搬送用ロボット5を用いて、複数のSiウエハー1を所定の間隔においてチャンバー6の外部の搬送用フィルム7上に配置する。
(Process 1)
First, in FIG. 2A, a plurality of Si wafers 1 are arranged on a transport film 7 outside the chamber 6 at a predetermined interval by using a transport robot 5.
 Siウエハー1の配置に関しては、送り出しロール3および巻き取りロール4を回転させ、搬送用フィルム7を移動させた状態で行ってもよい。また、搬送用フィルム7に設置されるSiフィルム1の間隔を均等にするために、送り出しロール3および巻き取りロール4の回転速度は一定にし、搬送用フィルム7の移動を一定速度で行うことが好ましい。 The arrangement of the Si wafer 1 may be performed in a state where the feed roll 3 and the take-up roll 4 are rotated and the transport film 7 is moved. Further, in order to make the intervals between the Si films 1 installed on the transport film 7 uniform, the rotation speeds of the feed roll 3 and the take-up roll 4 are made constant, and the transport film 7 can be moved at a constant speed. preferable.
 また、送り出しロール3および巻き取りロール4の回転は、Siウエハー1の配置が終了した後に行ってもよい。このとき、複数のSiウエハー1を搬送用フィルム7に配置する必要があれば、搬送用ロボット5を搬送用フィルム7に対して水平に移動させて、Siウエハー1をそれぞれ配置する。 Further, the feed roll 3 and the take-up roll 4 may be rotated after the arrangement of the Si wafer 1 is completed. At this time, if it is necessary to place a plurality of Si wafers 1 on the transfer film 7, the transfer robot 5 is moved horizontally with respect to the transfer film 7 to place the Si wafers 1.
 (工程2)
 送り出しロール3および巻き取りロール4を回転させることによって、搬送用フィルム7を移動させて、搬送用フィルム7上に配置した複数のSiウエハー1をチャンバー上部6aおよびチャンバー下部6bに向かって移動させることができる。
(Process 2)
By rotating the delivery roll 3 and the take-up roll 4, the transport film 7 is moved, and the plurality of Si wafers 1 arranged on the transport film 7 are moved toward the chamber upper portion 6a and the chamber lower portion 6b. Can do.
 チャンバー上部6aに保持されているガラス基板2に接着させる複数のSiウエハー1が全てチャンバー上部6aの下部に移動し、ガラス基板2と複数のSiウエハー1とが正対したときに、送り出しロール3および巻き取りロール4の回転を止めて、Siウエハー1が移動しないようにする。次に、チャンバー上部6aおよびチャンバー下部6bが搬送用フィルム7を介して接触させるため、チャンバー上部6aを下方に、かつチャンバー下部6bを上方に移動させる。また、チャンバー上部6aまたはチャンバー下部6bのどちらか一方を移動させてもよい。 When all of the plurality of Si wafers 1 to be bonded to the glass substrate 2 held by the chamber upper portion 6a are moved to the lower portion of the chamber upper portion 6a and the glass substrate 2 and the plurality of Si wafers 1 face each other, the delivery roll 3 Then, the rotation of the take-up roll 4 is stopped so that the Si wafer 1 does not move. Next, the chamber upper portion 6a and the chamber lower portion 6b are brought into contact with each other via the transfer film 7, so that the chamber upper portion 6a is moved downward and the chamber lower portion 6b is moved upward. Moreover, you may move either the chamber upper part 6a or the chamber lower part 6b.
 図2の(b)において、チャンバー上部6aおよびチャンバー下部6bを、搬送用フィルム7を介して接触させることによって、チャンバー上部6aと搬送用フィルム7とが接着室9を形成し、また、チャンバー下部6bと搬送用フィルム7とが隣接室10を形成する。このとき、接着室9において、チャンバー上部6aに保持されているガラス基板2と搬送用フィルム7に配置している複数のSiウエハー1とは正対している。 In FIG. 2B, the chamber upper portion 6a and the chamber lower film 6b are brought into contact with each other via the conveying film 7, whereby the chamber upper portion 6a and the conveying film 7 form an adhesion chamber 9. 6b and the film 7 for conveyance form the adjacent chamber 10. FIG. At this time, in the bonding chamber 9, the glass substrate 2 held in the chamber upper portion 6 a and the plurality of Si wafers 1 arranged on the transfer film 7 face each other.
 (工程3)
 図2の(c)において、上記のようにガラス基板2と複数のSiウエハー1とが正対している状態において、減圧口8と接続した圧力変化手段を用いて、接着室9の減圧を行う。減圧は、減圧口8を通じて接着室9の気体が室外に吸引されることによって実現される。
(Process 3)
In FIG. 2C, in the state where the glass substrate 2 and the plurality of Si wafers 1 face each other as described above, the pressure in the bonding chamber 9 is reduced using pressure changing means connected to the pressure reducing port 8. . The decompression is realized by the gas in the bonding chamber 9 being sucked out through the decompression port 8.
 ここで、搬送用フィルム7は伸縮性を有している。具体的には、搬送用フィルム7として、ポリエステル、ポリカーボネイト、ポリエステルなどのフィルムや、シリコンゴムといった伸縮性、柔軟性のある材質のものを使用することができる。 Here, the transport film 7 has elasticity. Specifically, as the transport film 7, a film made of polyester, polycarbonate, polyester, or the like, or a stretchable and flexible material such as silicon rubber can be used.
 このように、搬送用フィルム7は伸縮性、柔軟性を有しているため、接着室9が減圧になることによって、上方に引き上げられる。そして、更に減圧することによって、搬送用フィルム7はより上方に引き上げられ、接着室9の容積は減少する。なお、搬送用フィルム7は全体が伸縮性を有している必要はない。 Thus, since the transport film 7 has elasticity and flexibility, it is pulled upward when the bonding chamber 9 is depressurized. Further, by further reducing the pressure, the transport film 7 is pulled up further, and the volume of the bonding chamber 9 is reduced. Note that the entire transport film 7 need not have elasticity.
 搬送用フィルム7は上方(接着室9側)に引き上げられるときには、搬送用フィルム7上に配置したSiウエハー1も同様に引き上げられる。ある程度Siウエハー1が引き上げられたとき、Siウエハー1とガラス基板2とは接触する。Siウエハー1がガラス基板2に接触した後も、接着室9の減圧を行うことによって、Siウエハー1および搬送用フィルム7を引き上げることによってSiウエハー1とガラス基板2との接着領域は拡大する。なお、接着領域とは、Siウエハー1とガラス基板2とが互いに接触し、接着している領域を指す。 When the transfer film 7 is pulled upward (on the bonding chamber 9 side), the Si wafer 1 disposed on the transfer film 7 is also lifted in the same manner. When the Si wafer 1 is pulled up to some extent, the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 come into contact with each other. Even after the Si wafer 1 comes into contact with the glass substrate 2, the adhesion region between the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 is expanded by pulling up the Si wafer 1 and the transfer film 7 by reducing the pressure in the bonding chamber 9. The adhesion region refers to a region where the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 are in contact with each other and bonded.
 減圧下において、Siウエハー1とガラス基板2との接着を行っているため、接着領域に気泡が混入することを防止した状態において、接着領域の面積を拡大することができる。全てのSiウエハー1とガラス基板2とが接着するまで、減圧を継続する。 Since the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 are bonded under reduced pressure, the area of the bonding region can be expanded in a state where air bubbles are prevented from entering the bonding region. The decompression is continued until all the Si wafers 1 and the glass substrate 2 are bonded.
 次に、ウエハ直接接合技術(Wafer Direct Bonding)を用いることによって、接着剤等を使用せずにSiウエハー1とガラス基板2とを直接接着できることを説明する。まず、酸などの化学薬品、純水等を用いてSiウエハー1およびガラス基板2の洗浄と表面処理とを行う。この処理によって、Siウエハー1およびガラス基板2の表面をわずかに酸化させて薄い酸化膜を形成すると共に、当該表面に多数の水酸基を付着させる処理が可能である。このような親水化処理することによって、Siウエハー1およびガラス基板2の表面は共に親水性を示す。また、UV光照射処理、オゾン水洗浄処理等を施すことによって、これらの表面を親水性にしてもよい。 Next, it will be described that the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 can be directly bonded without using an adhesive or the like by using the wafer direct bonding technique (Wafer Direct Bonding). First, cleaning and surface treatment of the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 are performed using a chemical such as acid, pure water, or the like. By this treatment, it is possible to slightly oxidize the surfaces of the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 to form a thin oxide film and to attach a large number of hydroxyl groups to the surfaces. By performing such a hydrophilic treatment, the surfaces of the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 are both hydrophilic. Further, these surfaces may be made hydrophilic by performing UV light irradiation treatment, ozone water cleaning treatment, or the like.
 そして、上記親水化処理を施したSiウエハー1およびガラス基板2の表面を重ね合わせることによって、Siウエハー1とガラス基板2とが勝手に接着する。そのため、Siウエハー1およびガラス基板2に大きな力を加えなくても、両者の接触面積を拡大させることによって、Siウエハー1およびガラス基板2を接着させた接着基板を得ることは可能である。 Then, by superimposing the surfaces of the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 subjected to the hydrophilic treatment, the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 are arbitrarily bonded. Therefore, it is possible to obtain an adhesive substrate in which the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 are bonded by enlarging the contact area between the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 without applying a large force to the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2.
 なお、上記接着は、Siウエハー1上のSi-O結合とガラス基板2のSi-O結合との間に水素結合が生じることによって形成されると考えられている。また、上記接着によって得られた接着基板を熱処理することによって、接着基板の接着強度をさらに向上させることができる。 Note that it is considered that the above-mentioned adhesion is formed by a hydrogen bond generated between the Si—O bond on the Si wafer 1 and the Si—O bond on the glass substrate 2. Moreover, the adhesive strength of an adhesive substrate can be further improved by heat-processing the adhesive substrate obtained by the said adhesion | attachment.
 (工程4)
 図2の(d)において、全てのSiウエハー1とガラス基板2との接着が終了した後、圧力変化手段を用いた減圧を終了し、今度は減圧口8を通じて気体を接着室9に流入させる。気体を流入させることによって、接着室9の容積は増加し、接着室9側に引き上げられていた搬送用フィルム7は、自身の伸縮性によって元の状態に戻る。ここで、Siウエハー1とガラス基板2との接着は搬送用フィルム7とSiウエハー1との粘性による接着よりも強固であるため、元の状態に戻る搬送用フィルム7からSiウエハー1は剥がれる。
(Process 4)
In FIG. 2D, after the bonding between all the Si wafers 1 and the glass substrate 2 is completed, the pressure reduction using the pressure changing means is terminated, and this time the gas is caused to flow into the bonding chamber 9 through the pressure reducing port 8. . By introducing the gas, the volume of the bonding chamber 9 increases, and the transport film 7 that has been pulled up toward the bonding chamber 9 returns to its original state due to its own stretchability. Here, since the adhesion between the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 is stronger than the adhesion due to the viscosity between the transport film 7 and the Si wafer 1, the Si wafer 1 is peeled off from the transport film 7 that returns to the original state.
 最後に、上記工程4の後工程である工程5として、チャンバー上部6aおよびチャンバー下部6bを移動させることによって、チャンバー6を開放する。そして、図2の(e)に示すように、作製された接着基板をチャンバー6aから取り出す。接着処理を継続する場合には、新たなガラス基板2をチャンバー6aに保持させる。また、チャンバー6の外部において、工程1と同様に、搬送用ロボット5を用いてSiウエハー1を搬送用フィルム7に設置する。Siウエハー1の設置終了後、送り出しローラ3および巻き取りローラ4を共に回転させることによって、搬送用フィルム7に設置されているSiウエハー1をチャンバー6内に移動させ、上記工程1~4を行うことによって、新たな接着基板を作製することができる。 Finally, as step 5 which is a step after step 4 above, the chamber 6 is opened by moving the chamber upper portion 6a and the chamber lower portion 6b. Then, as shown in FIG. 2E, the produced bonded substrate is taken out from the chamber 6a. When continuing the bonding process, a new glass substrate 2 is held in the chamber 6a. Further, outside the chamber 6, the Si wafer 1 is placed on the transfer film 7 using the transfer robot 5 in the same manner as in Step 1. After the installation of the Si wafer 1, the delivery roller 3 and the take-up roller 4 are rotated to move the Si wafer 1 installed on the transfer film 7 into the chamber 6, and the above steps 1 to 4 are performed. As a result, a new adhesive substrate can be manufactured.
 なお、搬送用フィルム7への新たなSiウエハー1の設置は、上記任意の工程の間に行ってもよい。予め、Siウエハー1を設置しておくことによって、チャンバー6の分離後、すぐにチャンバー6内まで移動させることができるため、効率的に接着基板を作製することが可能である。 In addition, you may perform installation of the new Si wafer 1 to the film 7 for conveyance between the said arbitrary processes. By installing the Si wafer 1 in advance, it can be moved into the chamber 6 immediately after the separation of the chamber 6, so that an adhesive substrate can be efficiently produced.
 (本実施形態の効果)
 本実施形態に係る接着装置20は、従来よりも構成が単純な搬送用フィルム7等を使用しているため、接着装置を低コストで製造することが可能である。また、本実施形態にかかる接着装置20は、気体の吸引等による減圧によって、Siウエハー1とガラス基板2との接着を可能にし、従来のようなリフトピンのように物理的に圧力を加える機構を有していないため、より低コストで接着装置を製造することができる。
(Effect of this embodiment)
Since the bonding apparatus 20 according to the present embodiment uses the transport film 7 having a simpler structure than the conventional one, the bonding apparatus can be manufactured at low cost. In addition, the bonding apparatus 20 according to the present embodiment has a mechanism that allows the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 to be bonded to each other by pressure reduction by gas suction or the like, and physically applies pressure like a conventional lift pin. Since it does not have, it can manufacture a bonding apparatus at lower cost.
 また、本実施形態にかかる接着装置20において、搬送用フィルム7はチャンバー6から外延しているため、接着室9内においてSiウエハー1とガラス基板2との接着しているときに、次のSiウエハー1を搬送用フィルム7に設置することができる。つまり、チャンバー6の分離後すぐにSiウエハー1をチャンバー6内に移動させることができるため、効率的に接着基板を作製することができ、製造効率を向上させることが可能である。 In the bonding apparatus 20 according to this embodiment, since the transport film 7 extends from the chamber 6, when the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 are bonded in the bonding chamber 9, the next Si The wafer 1 can be placed on the transfer film 7. That is, since the Si wafer 1 can be moved into the chamber 6 immediately after the separation of the chamber 6, an adhesive substrate can be produced efficiently, and the production efficiency can be improved.
 また、圧力変動により搬送用フィルム7ごとSiウエハー1を持ち上げるので、従来のようなリフトピンを用いることなくリフトアップが可能であり、また安定的にリフトアップさせることができる。 Further, since the Si wafer 1 is lifted together with the transfer film 7 due to pressure fluctuation, it is possible to lift up without using a conventional lift pin, and it is possible to lift up stably.
 また、本発明に係る接着装置20は、大型のガラス基板にそれよりも小さい複数のウエハーを接着する場合に、適している。 The bonding apparatus 20 according to the present invention is suitable for bonding a plurality of smaller wafers to a large glass substrate.
 (第1実施形態の変形例)
 また、従来技術に係る接着装置または搬送手段との互換性を取るために、図3のようなSUSフレーム12に伸縮性を有しているウエハー配置用フィルム11を貼り付けた冶具を用いて、Siウエハー1とガラス基板2との接着を行ってもよい。図3の(a)は、搬送用フィルムの変形例を表す平面図であり、図3の(b)は、本発明に係る搬送用フィルムの変形例を表す正面図である。
(Modification of the first embodiment)
Further, in order to take compatibility with the bonding apparatus or the conveying means according to the prior art, using a jig in which the wafer placement film 11 having elasticity is attached to the SUS frame 12 as shown in FIG. Bonding between the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 may be performed. FIG. 3A is a plan view illustrating a modified example of the transport film, and FIG. 3B is a front view illustrating a modified example of the transport film according to the present invention.
 本実施形態においては、Siウエハー1をウエハー配置用フィルム11に設置し、SUSフレーム12をチャンバー6内に移動させ、SUSフレーム12およびウエハー配置用フィルム11の端部をチャンバー上部6aおよびチャンバー下部6bに挟み込む。形成されるチャンバー6およびウエハー配置用フィルム11によって、第1実施形態と同様に接着室9および隣接室10に分断される。チャンバー6内に保持されているガラス基板2とSiウエハー1との接着方法は、第1実施形態と同様のため、説明は省略する。 In this embodiment, the Si wafer 1 is placed on the wafer placement film 11, the SUS frame 12 is moved into the chamber 6, and the ends of the SUS frame 12 and the wafer placement film 11 are placed at the chamber upper portion 6 a and the chamber lower portion 6 b. Sandwiched between. The formed chamber 6 and wafer placement film 11 are divided into an adhesion chamber 9 and an adjacent chamber 10 as in the first embodiment. Since the method for bonding the glass substrate 2 held in the chamber 6 and the Si wafer 1 is the same as that in the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.
 〔第2実施形態〕
 図4の(a)~(c)は、本発明の一実施形態(第2実施形態)に係る接着方法の各工程を説明するための図である。なお、説明の便宜上、前記第1実施形態にて説明した部材と同じ機能を有するものは、同じ符号を付記し、その説明を省略する。
[Second Embodiment]
FIGS. 4A to 4C are diagrams for explaining each step of the bonding method according to one embodiment (second embodiment) of the present invention. For convenience of explanation, the same reference numerals are given to those having the same functions as those described in the first embodiment, and the explanation thereof is omitted.
 本実施形態においては、圧力変化手段として、加圧口13、バルブ14、開放口15およびガスボンベ16を用いて隣接室10の圧力を調整している接着装置21が記載されている。なお、圧力変化手段は、隣接室10の圧力を変化させるものである。つまり、隣接室10に気体を流入させることによって、隣接室10の圧力を増加させたり、または隣接室10から気体を流出させることによって、隣接室10の圧力を減少させたりする。 In the present embodiment, there is described a bonding device 21 that adjusts the pressure in the adjacent chamber 10 using a pressurizing port 13, a valve 14, an open port 15, and a gas cylinder 16 as pressure changing means. The pressure change means changes the pressure in the adjacent chamber 10. That is, the pressure in the adjacent chamber 10 is increased by flowing gas into the adjacent chamber 10, or the pressure in the adjacent chamber 10 is decreased by flowing out gas from the adjacent chamber 10.
 加圧口13は、チャンバー下部6bに形成されており、ここから隣接室10内に気体を注入することができる。 The pressurizing port 13 is formed in the chamber lower part 6b, from which gas can be injected into the adjacent chamber 10.
 バルブ14は、配管の開閉を行い、隣接室10への気体の注入および隣接室からの気体の流出を調整する。 The valve 14 opens and closes the piping to adjust the gas injection into the adjacent chamber 10 and the gas outflow from the adjacent chamber.
 開放口15は、バルブ14を開放し、隣接室10の気体大気中に放出するためのものである。 The opening 15 is for opening the valve 14 and releasing it into the gas atmosphere of the adjacent chamber 10.
 ガスボンベ16は、隣接室10への気体供給源であり、バルブ15および加圧口13を通じて隣接室10に気体が注入される。 The gas cylinder 16 is a gas supply source to the adjacent chamber 10, and gas is injected into the adjacent chamber 10 through the valve 15 and the pressure port 13.
 次に、図4の(a)~(c)に基づいて、接着方法の各工程について説明する。なお、第1実施形態と同様の工程については説明を省略する。図4の(a)において、ガスボンベ16からバルブ14および加圧口13を通じて、隣接室10に気体を流入させた場合、搬送用フィルム7は、隣接室10に流入した気体によって力を受ける。そして、搬送用フィルム7において、伸縮性を有している部分は伸長する。搬送用フィルム7が伸長することによって、搬送用フィルム7に配しているSiウエハー1は押し上げられ、チャンバー上部6aに保持されているガラス基板2とSiウエハー1とが接触する。なお、隣接室10からの加圧により、接着室9の気体は減圧口8より放出される。Siウエハー1とガラス基板2とが接触した後は、隣接室10への気体の流入により搬送用フィルム7が伸長されるにつれて、Siウエハー1とガラス基板2とが接着し、両者の接着領域が大きくなる。 Next, each step of the bonding method will be described based on (a) to (c) of FIG. In addition, description is abbreviate | omitted about the process similar to 1st Embodiment. In FIG. 4A, when gas is caused to flow into the adjacent chamber 10 from the gas cylinder 16 through the valve 14 and the pressure port 13, the transport film 7 receives a force from the gas that has flowed into the adjacent chamber 10. And in the film 7 for conveyance, the part which has a stretching property expand | extends. When the transfer film 7 extends, the Si wafer 1 disposed on the transfer film 7 is pushed up, and the glass substrate 2 held on the chamber upper portion 6a and the Si wafer 1 come into contact with each other. Note that the gas in the bonding chamber 9 is released from the decompression port 8 by pressurization from the adjacent chamber 10. After the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 are in contact with each other, the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 are bonded together as the transfer film 7 is stretched by the inflow of gas into the adjacent chamber 10, and the bonding area between the two is determined. growing.
 図4の(b)において、複数のSiウエハー1とガラス基板2との接着が完了した後は、減圧口8を通じて接着室9へ気体を流入させ、かつバルブ14を開放して、加圧口13および開放口15を通じて隣接室10から気体を流出させる。それによって、第1実施形態と同様に、Siウエハー1とガラス基板2を接着した状態において、搬送用フィルム7とSiウエハー1との接着が解除される。複数のSiウエハー1とガラス基板2との接着により作製された接着基板を接着室9から取り出し、チャンバー上部6aに新しいガラス基板2を保持させる。 In FIG. 4B, after the bonding between the plurality of Si wafers 1 and the glass substrate 2 is completed, a gas is caused to flow into the bonding chamber 9 through the decompression port 8 and the valve 14 is opened to open the pressure port. Gas is allowed to flow out from the adjacent chamber 10 through the opening 13 and the opening 15. As a result, similarly to the first embodiment, in the state where the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 are bonded, the adhesion between the transport film 7 and the Si wafer 1 is released. The bonded substrate produced by bonding the plurality of Si wafers 1 and the glass substrate 2 is taken out from the bonding chamber 9, and the new glass substrate 2 is held in the chamber upper portion 6a.
 そして、図4の(c)のように、送り出しロール3および巻き取りロール4を回転させて、搬送用フィルム7を移動させることよって、搬送用フィルム7に配している次のSiウエハー1をチャンバー6内に搬送できる。 Then, as shown in FIG. 4C, the next Si wafer 1 disposed on the transport film 7 is moved by rotating the feed roll 3 and the take-up roll 4 and moving the transport film 7. It can be transferred into the chamber 6.
 なお、本実施形態においては、ガスボンベ16等を用いて隣接室10の圧力を変化させることだけを圧力変化手段として記載したが、接着室9の圧力変化を組み合わせてもよい。第1実施形態において説明した接着室9の減圧を、隣接室10の加圧を組み合わせることによって、より細かい制御をすることが可能になる。 In addition, in this embodiment, although only changing the pressure of the adjacent chamber 10 using the gas cylinder 16 etc. was described as a pressure change means, you may combine the pressure change of the adhesion | attachment chamber 9. FIG. Finer control can be performed by combining the decompression of the bonding chamber 9 described in the first embodiment with the pressurization of the adjacent chamber 10.
 なお、本実施形態では、気体を隣接室10に流入させることにより、隣接室10の容積を増加させる構成を採用したが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではなく、例えば、熱膨張する物体を隣接室10内に予め配設しておき、搬送用フィルム7を接着室に向けて押し上げたい場合に当該物体を膨張させることによって、隣接室10の容積を増加させて、搬送用フィルム7の押し上げを実現してもよい。当該物体には制御可能な熱源が搭載され、膨張時には当該熱源に電力が供給されることで当該物体に熱を与えることが可能である。同様に、第1実施形態の接着室の容積減少も、脱気によるものに限定されず、上述のような熱による膨張・収縮を利用したものを採用してもよい。 In the present embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which the volume of the adjacent chamber 10 is increased by allowing gas to flow into the adjacent chamber 10. However, the present invention is not limited to this, for example, an object that thermally expands. Is disposed in advance in the adjacent chamber 10, and when the transport film 7 is to be pushed up toward the bonding chamber, the object is expanded to increase the volume of the adjacent chamber 10. Push-up may be realized. A heat source that can be controlled is mounted on the object, and heat can be applied to the object by supplying electric power to the heat source during expansion. Similarly, the volume reduction of the bonding chamber of the first embodiment is not limited to that due to deaeration, but may be one that utilizes expansion / contraction due to heat as described above.
 このように物理的な部材を用いて加圧等を行わず、気体の流入および流出を用いて圧力変化を行っているため、装置をより簡素化することが可能になる。 Since the pressure change is performed using the inflow and outflow of the gas without using the physical member in this way, the apparatus can be further simplified.
 〔第3実施形態〕
 図5は、本発明の一実施形態(第3実施形態)に係る接着装置22の構成を示す図である。
[Third Embodiment]
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a configuration of the bonding apparatus 22 according to one embodiment (third embodiment) of the present invention.
 本発明に係る一実施形態においては、チャンバー6を接着室9および隣接室10に分断している搬送用フィルム7を、チャンバー6内においてガラス基板2に対して傾斜をもたせている構成以外は第1実施形態と同様である。 In one embodiment according to the present invention, the transfer film 7 that divides the chamber 6 into the bonding chamber 9 and the adjacent chamber 10 is the first except for the configuration in which the glass substrate 2 is inclined in the chamber 6. This is the same as in the first embodiment.
 なお、説明の便宜上、前記第1実施形態にて説明した部材と同じ機能を有するものは、同じ符号を付記し、その説明を省略する。 For convenience of explanation, those having the same functions as the members explained in the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals and explanation thereof is omitted.
 図6の(a)~(d)は、本実施形態に係る接着方法の各工程を説明するための図である。図6の(a)のように、搬送用フィルムを介して、チャンバー上部6aおよびチャンバー下部6bの接触する高さを左右において相違させることによって、チャンバー6内において、ガラス基板2に対して搬送用フィルム7に傾斜をもたせることができる。すなわち、チャンバー上部6aおよびチャンバー下部6bはそれぞれ、搬送用フィルム7の一方側と接触する第1側部と、他方側と接触する第2側部とを有しているが、本実施形態では、チャンバー上部6aの第1側部と第2側部とが異なる高さで構成されており、チャンバー下部6bの第1側部と第2側部とが異なる高さで構成されており、チャンバー上部6aの第1側部とチャンバー下部6bの第1側部との高さの合計と、チャンバー上部6aの第2側部とチャンバー下部6bの第2側部との高さの合計とが等しくなるように構成されている。これにより、ガラス基板2に対して搬送用フィルム7に傾斜をもたせることができる。このとき、接着室9内において搬送用フィルム7に配されている複数のSiウエハー1は、ガラス基板2に対して傾斜を有している。 6A to 6D are views for explaining each step of the bonding method according to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6 (a), the height of the contact between the chamber upper part 6a and the chamber lower part 6b is different on the left and right sides through the conveyance film, thereby conveying the glass substrate 2 in the chamber 6. The film 7 can be inclined. That is, each of the chamber upper part 6a and the chamber lower part 6b has a first side part in contact with one side of the transport film 7 and a second side part in contact with the other side. In this embodiment, The first side portion and the second side portion of the chamber upper portion 6a are configured with different heights, and the first side portion and the second side portion of the chamber lower portion 6b are configured with different heights. The total height of the first side portion of 6a and the first side portion of the lower chamber portion 6b is equal to the total height of the second side portion of the upper chamber portion 6a and the second side portion of the lower chamber portion 6b. It is configured as follows. Thereby, the conveyance film 7 can be inclined with respect to the glass substrate 2. At this time, the plurality of Si wafers 1 disposed on the transfer film 7 in the bonding chamber 9 are inclined with respect to the glass substrate 2.
 このように、複数のSiウエハー1がガラス基板2に対して傾斜を有している状態において、接着室9内を減圧して搬送用フィルム7を伸長させると、第1実施形態と同様にSiウエハー1とガラス基板2とを接触させることができる。 In this way, when the plurality of Si wafers 1 are inclined with respect to the glass substrate 2, when the inside of the bonding chamber 9 is decompressed to elongate the transport film 7, Si as in the first embodiment. The wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 can be brought into contact with each other.
 図7は、第1実施形態に係るSiウエハー1とガラス基板2との接着を表す図である。第1実施形態においては、図7のように、搬送用フィルム7のチャンバー6を分断している部分の中央部に配されているSiウエハー1から最初にガラス基板2に接触し、かつSiウエハー1はガラス基板2と平行に接触する。これは、接着室9の減圧をした場合に、チャンバー6内の搬送用フィルムの中央部が盛り上がるためである。 FIG. 7 is a diagram showing adhesion between the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 according to the first embodiment. In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the Si wafer 1 is first brought into contact with the glass substrate 2 from the Si wafer 1 arranged at the center of the portion of the transport film 7 where the chamber 6 is divided, and the Si wafer 1 contacts the glass substrate 2 in parallel. This is because the central portion of the transport film in the chamber 6 rises when the pressure in the bonding chamber 9 is reduced.
 また、チャンバー6内の搬送用フィルム7の中心部が盛り上がっている場合には、当該中央部以外のチャンバー6内の搬送用フィルム7は、ガラス基板2に対して傾斜を有している。そのため、中央部に位置しているSiウエハー1以外のSiウエハー1は、ガラス基板2に対して傾斜を有したまま、Siウエハー1の端部からガラス基板2と接触する。 When the central portion of the transport film 7 in the chamber 6 is raised, the transport film 7 in the chamber 6 other than the central portion is inclined with respect to the glass substrate 2. Therefore, the Si wafer 1 other than the Si wafer 1 located in the central portion comes into contact with the glass substrate 2 from the end portion of the Si wafer 1 while being inclined with respect to the glass substrate 2.
 一方、本実施形態においては、図6の(b)および図8のように、ガラス基板2にもっとも近く設置されている端のSiウエハー1(図6の(b)および図8においては左端)からガラス基板2に接触する。同時に、Siウエハー1はガラス基板2に対して傾斜を有した状態において、Siウエハー1の端部からガラス基板2に接触する。 On the other hand, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6B and FIG. 8, the Si wafer 1 at the end closest to the glass substrate 2 (the left end in FIG. 6B and FIG. 8). To the glass substrate 2. At the same time, the Si wafer 1 comes into contact with the glass substrate 2 from the end of the Si wafer 1 in a state where the Si wafer 1 is inclined with respect to the glass substrate 2.
 上記のように接触し、接着室9の減圧によりSiウエハー1とガラス基板2との接着を開始される。図6の(c)のように、端のSiウエハー1とガラス基板2との接着が終了すると、当該端のSiウエハー1に隣接しているSiウエハー1が、ガラス基板2と接着を開始する。このとき、端のSiウエハー1と同様に、端部からガラス基板2と接触し、Siウエハー1とガラス基板2との接着は開始される。 Contact is made as described above, and the adhesion between the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 is started by the decompression of the bonding chamber 9. As shown in FIG. 6C, when the bonding between the end Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 is completed, the Si wafer 1 adjacent to the end Si wafer 1 starts bonding to the glass substrate 2. . At this time, similarly to the Si wafer 1 at the end, the glass substrate 2 comes into contact with the end portion, and adhesion between the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 is started.
 また、上記接着が終了すると、図6の(d)にように、右端のSiウエハー1が傾斜を有した状態において、ガラス基板2に接触し、Siウエハー1とガラス基板2との接着は開始される。全てのSiウエハー1とガラス基板2との接着が終了したことによって、全体の接着工程は終了する。つまり、全てのSiウエハー1とガラス基板2との接着は、Siウエハー1の端部から開始される。 When the above bonding is completed, as shown in FIG. 6D, in the state where the rightmost Si wafer 1 is inclined, the glass substrate 2 comes into contact, and the bonding between the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 starts. Is done. When the bonding between all the Si wafers 1 and the glass substrate 2 is completed, the entire bonding process is completed. That is, the bonding between all the Si wafers 1 and the glass substrate 2 is started from the end of the Si wafer 1.
 次に、Siウエハー1がガラス基板2に対して傾斜を有していることによる利点について、傾斜をもたせていない場合と比較して説明する。図9の(a)は、Siウエハー1がガラス基板2に端から接触して接着領域が拡大していくことを表す図であり、図9の(b)は、Siウエハー1がガラス基板2に平行に接触して接着領域が拡大していくことを表す図である。 Next, advantages of the Si wafer 1 having an inclination with respect to the glass substrate 2 will be described in comparison with a case where the Si wafer 1 is not inclined. FIG. 9A is a diagram showing that the Si wafer 1 comes into contact with the glass substrate 2 from the end and the adhesion region is enlarged, and FIG. 9B is a diagram showing that the Si wafer 1 is glass substrate 2. It is a figure showing that an adhesion | attachment area | region expands by contacting in parallel.
 まず、Siウエハー1がガラス基板2に平行に接触した場合には、図9の(b)のように、Siウエハー1の複数の箇所において、Siウエハー1とガラス基板2との接着が開始される。また、Siウエハー1とガラス基板2との接着が進行すると、複数の箇所に生じた接着面積が拡大する。そして、拡大した接着領域同士がぶつかることによって、図のような空気だまり17が発生するおそれがある。つまり、Siウエハー1がガラス基板2に平行に接触した場合には、Siウエハー1の複数の箇所において、ガラス基板2との接着が開始されるため、空気だまり17のような欠陥が発生するおそれがあり、高い歩留まり(全製品の数量に対する所定の品質を示す良品の比率)を確保する観点からは好ましくない。 First, when the Si wafer 1 comes into contact with the glass substrate 2 in parallel, adhesion between the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 is started at a plurality of locations on the Si wafer 1 as shown in FIG. The Further, when the bonding between the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 proceeds, the bonding area generated at a plurality of locations is expanded. Then, when the expanded adhesion areas collide with each other, there is a possibility that the air pool 17 as shown in the figure is generated. That is, when the Si wafer 1 contacts the glass substrate 2 in parallel, adhesion to the glass substrate 2 is started at a plurality of locations on the Si wafer 1, so that a defect such as an air pocket 17 may occur. This is not preferable from the viewpoint of securing a high yield (ratio of non-defective products showing a predetermined quality with respect to the quantity of all products).
 上述の問題を解決するためには、Siウエハー1の一箇所において、ガラス基板2との接着が開始され、空気だまりが発生しない構成にすることが好ましい。つまり、本実施形態のように、全てのSiウエハー1とガラス基板2との接着は、Siウエハー1の端部から開始される構成にすることによって、上記の空気だまりによる接着不良の問題を解消することが好ましい。次に、その詳細について説明する。 In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, it is preferable to adopt a configuration in which adhesion to the glass substrate 2 is started at one place of the Si wafer 1 and air accumulation is not generated. In other words, as in this embodiment, the bonding between all the Si wafers 1 and the glass substrate 2 is started from the end of the Si wafer 1, thereby eliminating the above-mentioned problem of poor bonding due to air accumulation. It is preferable to do. Next, the details will be described.
 Siウエハー1がガラス基板2に端から接触した場合には、図9の(a)にように、Siウエハー1とガラス基板2との接着は端部から中心に向かって進行していく。端部からもう一方の端部まで、Siウエハー1とガラス基板2との接着が進行すれば、接着は終了する。この場合において、ガラス基板2と接触したSiウエハー1の端部からのみ接着が拡大していくため、他の接着とぶつかることによって空気だまりが発生することはない。そのため、良好な接着を確保することおよび高い歩留まりを確保することができる。 When the Si wafer 1 comes into contact with the glass substrate 2 from the end, as shown in FIG. 9A, the adhesion between the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 proceeds from the end toward the center. If the bonding between the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 proceeds from one end to the other end, the bonding ends. In this case, since the adhesion expands only from the end portion of the Si wafer 1 that is in contact with the glass substrate 2, there is no occurrence of air accumulation by colliding with another adhesion. Therefore, it is possible to ensure good adhesion and high yield.
 なお、Siウエハー1がガラス基板2に平行に接触するのはチャンバー6内の搬送用フィルム7の中央部に配しているSiウエハー1である。ちなみに、第1実施形態において、中央部以外でのSiウエハー1とガラス基板2との接着によって、Siウエハー1の端部から開始されるため、空気だまりが発生していない良質の接着は可能である。しかし、チャンバー6内の搬送用フィルム7の中央部に配しているSiウエハー1とガラス基板2との接着を比較すると、空気だまりが形成されない構成である第3実施形態のときのほうが第1実施形態のときよりも、接着不良を生じていない接着基板をより効率的に作製することができる。 Note that the Si wafer 1 that contacts the glass substrate 2 in parallel is the Si wafer 1 disposed in the central portion of the transfer film 7 in the chamber 6. By the way, in the first embodiment, since the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 are bonded to each other in the area other than the central portion and started from the end of the Si wafer 1, it is possible to perform high-quality bonding with no air accumulation. is there. However, when the adhesion between the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 disposed in the central portion of the transport film 7 in the chamber 6 is compared, the first embodiment is a configuration in which no air pocket is formed. Compared to the embodiment, an adhesive substrate that does not cause poor adhesion can be more efficiently produced.
 なお、本実施形態に係る接着室9の減圧手段として、第1実施形態と同様のものを用いてもよい。また、第2実施形態に記載された隣接室10の加圧を、本実施形態の構成に加えてもよい。 In addition, you may use the thing similar to 1st Embodiment as a pressure reduction means of the adhesion | attachment chamber 9 which concerns on this embodiment. Moreover, you may add the pressurization of the adjacent chamber 10 described in 2nd Embodiment to the structure of this embodiment.
 図5、6および8においては、チャンバー9内の搬送用フィルム7の左側の方が右側よりも相対的な高さが高くなるように、搬送用フィルム7に傾斜を形成させているが、右側の方が左側よりも相対的な高さが高くなるように、搬送用フィルム7に傾斜を形成させてもよい。 5, 6 and 8, the transport film 7 is inclined so that the left side of the transport film 7 in the chamber 9 has a higher relative height than the right side. An inclination may be formed in the transport film 7 so that the relative height is higher than that on the left side.
 なお、本実施形態では、四角形を有するSiウエハー1の一辺(例えば図5の左右に延びている辺)を傾斜させた場合について説明したが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではなく、この辺に直交する他の一辺、もしくは、その両方に傾きをもたせるように構成してもよい。 In the present embodiment, the case where one side of the Si wafer 1 having a quadrangle (for example, the side extending in the left and right direction in FIG. 5) is inclined has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and this side You may comprise so that inclination may be given to the other side orthogonal to this, or both.
 (第3実施形態の変形例)
 また、図10は、本実施形態に係る接着装置22の変形例である。本実施形態において、搬送用フィルム7に配しているSiウエハー1に対してガラス基板2が傾斜した状態になるように、チャンバー6にガラス基板2を保持させている。この場合にも、接着室9を減圧し、チャンバー6内の搬送用フィルム7を伸長させることによって、傾斜を有した状態において、Siウエハー1の端部からSiウエハー1とガラス基板2との接着を開始させることができるため、第3実施形態と同様の効果を奏する。
(Modification of the third embodiment)
FIG. 10 is a modification of the bonding apparatus 22 according to this embodiment. In this embodiment, the glass substrate 2 is held in the chamber 6 so that the glass substrate 2 is inclined with respect to the Si wafer 1 disposed on the transfer film 7. Also in this case, the adhesion chamber 9 is depressurized, and the transfer film 7 in the chamber 6 is stretched to bond the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 from the end of the Si wafer 1 in an inclined state. Therefore, the same effect as in the third embodiment can be obtained.
 〔第4実施形態〕
 図11は、(a)~(d)は、第4実施形態に係る接着方法の各工程を説明するための図である。なお、説明の便宜上、前記第1実施形態にて説明した部材と同じ機能を有するものは、同じ符号を付記し、その説明を省略する。
[Fourth Embodiment]
11A to 11D are views for explaining each step of the bonding method according to the fourth embodiment. For convenience of explanation, the same reference numerals are given to those having the same functions as those described in the first embodiment, and the explanation thereof is omitted.
 チャンバー上部6aおよびチャンバー下部6bの代わりに基板ステージ30(保持手段)、剥離用ガイド31(剥離手段)、突き上げピン32(シート伸縮手段)およびステージ33を備えている接着装置23の構成が示されている。 Instead of the chamber upper part 6a and the chamber lower part 6b, the configuration of the bonding apparatus 23 provided with a substrate stage 30 (holding means), a peeling guide 31 (peeling means), a push-up pin 32 (sheet expansion / contraction means) and a stage 33 is shown. ing.
 基板ステージ30にはガラス基板2が保持されており、基板ステージ30の左右において剥離用ガイド31が設置されている。剥離用ガイド31は、Siウエハー1とガラス基板2との接着が完了した後に、搬送用フィルム7とSiウエハー1との接触を解除するためのものである。 The glass substrate 2 is held on the substrate stage 30, and peeling guides 31 are installed on the left and right sides of the substrate stage 30. The peeling guide 31 is for releasing the contact between the transport film 7 and the Si wafer 1 after the adhesion between the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 is completed.
 搬送用フィルム7を介して、ガラス基板2を保持している基板ステージ30と突き上げピン32とは正対している。突き上げピン32は、ステージ33上に形成されており、搬送用フィルム7および当該フィルムに配されたSiウエハー1を押し上げることができる。また、搬送用フィルム7は少なくとも一部において伸縮性を有しているため、突き上げピン32により突き上げることによって、伸長する。 The substrate stage 30 holding the glass substrate 2 and the push-up pin 32 face each other through the transfer film 7. The push-up pins 32 are formed on the stage 33 and can push up the transfer film 7 and the Si wafer 1 disposed on the film. Further, since the transport film 7 has stretchability at least in part, it is extended by being pushed up by the push-up pin 32.
 なお、Siウエハー1および突き上げピン32の相対位置を調整するために、ステージ33は可動手段を備えていてもよい。 In order to adjust the relative positions of the Si wafer 1 and the push-up pins 32, the stage 33 may be provided with movable means.
 図11の(a)において、送り出しロール3および巻き取りロール4を回転させ、搬送用フィルム7を移動させ、Siウエハー1とガラス基板2とを正対させ、かつ、突き上げピン32が、搬送用フィルム7を介してSiウエハーと正対するように調整する。 In FIG. 11A, the delivery roll 3 and the take-up roll 4 are rotated, the transport film 7 is moved, the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 are directly opposed, and the push-up pin 32 is used for transport. The film 7 is adjusted so as to face the Si wafer through the film 7.
 図11の(b)において、突き上げピン32を上昇させることによって、搬送用フィルム7を挟んで当該突き上げピン32を正対している各Siウエハー1に、接触させることができる。このとき、突き上げピン32を上昇させることによって、伸縮性、柔軟性を有している搬送用フィルム7は上方に突き上げられ、それに応じて、搬送用フィルム7上に配置したSiウエハー1も同様に突き上げられる。ある程度Siウエハー1が突き上げられたとき、Siウエハー1とガラス基板2とは接触する。Siウエハー1がガラス基板2に接触した後も、Siウエハー1および搬送用フィルム7を引き上げることによってSiウエハー1とガラス基板2との接着領域は拡大する。なお、第1実施形態に記載したように、ウエハ直接接合技術を用いることによって、Siウエハー1等に大きな力を加えることなく、Siウエハー1とガラス基板2とは接着させることができる。 In FIG. 11B, by raising the push-up pin 32, it is possible to contact each Si wafer 1 facing the push-up pin 32 with the transport film 7 interposed therebetween. At this time, by raising the push-up pin 32, the transport film 7 having elasticity and flexibility is pushed upward, and accordingly, the Si wafer 1 disposed on the transport film 7 is similarly used. It is pushed up. When the Si wafer 1 is pushed up to some extent, the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 come into contact with each other. Even after the Si wafer 1 comes into contact with the glass substrate 2, the bonding area between the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 is expanded by pulling up the Si wafer 1 and the transfer film 7. As described in the first embodiment, by using the wafer direct bonding technique, the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 can be bonded without applying a large force to the Si wafer 1 or the like.
 図11の(c)において、全てのSiウエハー1とガラス基板2との接着が終了した後、突き上げピン32を下げ、搬送用フィルム7と突き上げピン32との接触を解除する。さらに、剥離ガイド31を搬送用フィルム7と接触させ、下方に圧力を加えることによって、Siウエハー1と搬送用フィルム7との接触を解除することができる。Siウエハー1と搬送用フィルム7との接触が解除されると、搬送用フィルム7は自身の伸縮性によって元の状態に戻る。よって、Siウエハー1とガラス基板2とが接着した接着基板を得ることができる。 11 (c), after all the Si wafers 1 and the glass substrate 2 have been bonded, the push-up pins 32 are lowered, and the contact between the transport film 7 and the push-up pins 32 is released. Furthermore, the contact between the Si wafer 1 and the transport film 7 can be released by bringing the peeling guide 31 into contact with the transport film 7 and applying pressure downward. When the contact between the Si wafer 1 and the transport film 7 is released, the transport film 7 returns to its original state due to its own elasticity. Therefore, an adhesive substrate in which the Si wafer 1 and the glass substrate 2 are bonded can be obtained.
 図11の(d)において、Siウエハー1と搬送用フィルム7との接触を解除した後は、剥離用ガイド31を上方に引き上げ、搬送用フィルム7に対する加圧を解除する。そして、作製された接着基板を基板ステージ30から取り出し、接着処理を継続する場合には、新たなガラス基板2を基板ステージ30に保持させる。また、第1実施形態の工程1と同様に、搬送用ロボット5を用いてSiウエハー1を搬送用フィルム7に配置し、送り出しローラ3および巻き取りローラ4を共に回転させることによって、Siウエハー1をガラス基板2と正対するまで移動させる。そうすることによって、新たな接着基板を作製することができる。 11D, after the contact between the Si wafer 1 and the transport film 7 is released, the peeling guide 31 is pulled upward to release the pressure on the transport film 7. Then, when the produced bonded substrate is taken out from the substrate stage 30 and the bonding process is continued, a new glass substrate 2 is held on the substrate stage 30. Similarly to the step 1 of the first embodiment, the Si wafer 1 is placed on the transport film 7 by using the transport robot 5, and the feed roller 3 and the take-up roller 4 are rotated together to thereby rotate the Si wafer 1. Is moved until it faces the glass substrate 2. By doing so, a new adhesive substrate can be produced.
 なお、図11の(a)~(d)においては、ガラス基板2に接着させるSiウエハー1の数と同数の突き上げピン32が記載されているが、突き上げピン32の数は限定されない。また、突き上げピン32は、圧力変化手段の代わりに図1等のチャンバー下部6bに設置されていてもよい。 11A to 11D, the same number of push-up pins 32 as the number of Si wafers 1 to be bonded to the glass substrate 2 are shown, but the number of push-up pins 32 is not limited. Moreover, the push-up pin 32 may be installed in the chamber lower part 6b of FIG. 1 etc. instead of the pressure changing means.
 また、剥離用ガイド31は、基板ステージ30を挟んで左右に配置されているが、左右の両方に配置されている必要はなく、どちらか一方に配置されていてもよい。 Further, the peeling guides 31 are arranged on the left and right sides of the substrate stage 30, but it is not necessary to arrange them on both the left and right sides, and may be arranged on either one.
 さらに、搬送用フィルム7に配しているSiウエハー1をガラス基板2に対して傾斜をもたせる構成にしてもよく、また、搬送用フィルム7に配しているSiウエハー1に対してガラス基板2が傾斜した状態になるように、基板ステージ30にガラス基板2を保持させてもよい。これによって、第3実施形態と同様に接着領域に気泡が混入することを防止することができる。 Further, the Si wafer 1 disposed on the transport film 7 may be configured to be inclined with respect to the glass substrate 2, and the glass substrate 2 may be disposed on the Si wafer 1 disposed on the transport film 7. The glass substrate 2 may be held on the substrate stage 30 so that the angle is inclined. As a result, it is possible to prevent air bubbles from being mixed into the adhesion region as in the third embodiment.

 <まとめ>
 本発明に係る接着装置は、少なくとも一部分に伸縮性を有しており、第一の基板を配することができるシートと、上記第一の基板の接着対象である第二の基板を配することができる保持手段と、上記シートを伸長させて、当該シートを配した上記第一の基板を上記第二の基板に近づけて、第一の基板を第二の基板に接着させるシート伸縮手段と、を備えていることを特徴としている。
<Summary>
The bonding apparatus according to the present invention has a sheet that can be stretched at least in part and on which a first substrate can be disposed, and a second substrate that is an adhesion target of the first substrate. Holding means capable of extending the sheet, the sheet expansion means for extending the sheet, bringing the first substrate on which the sheet is disposed closer to the second substrate, and bonding the first substrate to the second substrate; It is characterized by having.
 上記構成によれば、シートは少なくとも一部分に伸縮性を有しているため、上記シート伸縮手段によって、上記シートが保持手段に向かって伸長する。 According to the above configuration, since the sheet has elasticity at least in part, the sheet expands toward the holding means by the sheet expansion / contraction means.
 このようにシートを保持手段側に伸長させることにより、保持手段に配した第二の基板にシートを近づけることができる。 In this way, by extending the sheet toward the holding means, the sheet can be brought close to the second substrate disposed on the holding means.
 この原理を利用し、当該シートに第一の基板を配しておくことにより、シートの伸長に伴って、保持手段に配した第二の基板に当該第一の基板を近づけることができる。上記のように、両基板を近づけることによって、第一の基板と第二の基板とを接触させることができる。 By using this principle and arranging the first substrate on the sheet, the first substrate can be brought closer to the second substrate arranged on the holding means as the sheet extends. As described above, the first substrate and the second substrate can be brought into contact with each other by bringing the two substrates close to each other.
 これにより、シート伸縮手段により第一の基板を第二の基板に近づける際に、シートごと第一の基板が移動するので、シート伸縮手段が直接第一の基板に接触することがない。このため、シート伸縮手段としてリフトピンを用いたとしても第一の基板への傷付きを懸念する必要がない。また、シートごと第一の基板が移動するので、当該移動を安定的に実施することができる。 Thus, when the first substrate is moved closer to the second substrate by the sheet expansion / contraction means, the first substrate moves together with the sheet, so that the sheet expansion / contraction means does not directly contact the first substrate. For this reason, even if lift pins are used as the sheet expansion / contraction means, there is no need to worry about damage to the first substrate. Further, since the first substrate moves together with the sheet, the movement can be stably performed.
 本発明に係る接着装置の一形態は、上記の構成に加えて、上記シートは、帯状に構成されていて、且つ、上記保持手段に正対する正対領域と、当該領域に隣接した、当該保持手段に正対していない非正対領域とを有しており、上記接着装置は、上記非正対領域に上記第一の基板を配する基板配送部と、上記シートを移動させて、上記基板配送部によって配された上記第一の基板を上記第二の基板に正対するように搬送する移動手段と、を更に備えており、上記移動手段は、回転することにより上記帯状のシートを移動させる回転部である、ことが好ましい。 In one embodiment of the bonding apparatus according to the present invention, in addition to the above-described configuration, the sheet is configured in a band shape, and a holding region that is opposed to the holding unit and that is adjacent to the holding region. A non-facing area not facing the means, and the bonding apparatus moves the sheet by moving the sheet to a substrate delivery section that places the first substrate in the non-facing area. Moving means for conveying the first substrate arranged by the delivery section so as to face the second substrate, and the moving means moves the belt-like sheet by rotating. It is preferably a rotating part.
 上記構成によれば、保持手段に正対していない、シートの非正対領域に、基板配送部を用いて第一の基板を配し、配した第一の基板を移動手段によって第二の基板に正対するように搬送することができる。 According to the above configuration, the first substrate is arranged using the substrate delivery unit in the non-facing region of the sheet that is not directly opposed to the holding unit, and the arranged first substrate is moved to the second substrate by the moving unit. It can be conveyed so as to face to.
 そのため、シートへの第一の基板の配置と、接着基板の作製とを並行しておこなうことが可能となる。これにより、効率的に接着基板の作製をすることができるという効果を奏する。 Therefore, it is possible to perform the placement of the first substrate on the sheet and the production of the adhesive substrate in parallel. Thereby, there exists an effect that an adhesive substrate can be produced efficiently.
 また、帯状のシートを回転させることによって、シートに配した第一の基板を移動させることが可能であるため、複雑な機構を設けることなく、第一の基板を第二の基板に正対するように搬送することができる。 In addition, the first substrate placed on the sheet can be moved by rotating the belt-shaped sheet, so that the first substrate faces the second substrate without providing a complicated mechanism. Can be conveyed.
 さらに、帯状のシートを用いているため、例えば基板を載置するためのステージを基板の載置場所と基板の接着場所との間で往復させるような動きを必要とせず、順送りによって第一の基板を継続的に第一の基板を第二の基板に正対するように搬送することができる。つまり、接着終了後すぐに、次に接着される第一の基板を第一の基板を第二の基板に正対するように搬送できるため、接着基板の作製時間を短縮でき、作製効率を向上させることができる。 In addition, since a belt-like sheet is used, for example, the stage for placing the substrate does not need to be moved back and forth between the place where the substrate is placed and the place where the substrate is bonded, and the first step is performed by progressive feeding. The substrate can be continuously transferred so that the first substrate faces the second substrate. That is, immediately after the bonding is completed, the first substrate to be bonded next can be transported so that the first substrate faces the second substrate, so that the manufacturing time of the bonded substrate can be shortened and the manufacturing efficiency can be improved. be able to.
 本発明に係る接着装置の一形態は、上記の構成に加えて、上記保持手段は、内部に上記シートを配して、当該シートによって当該内部が接着室、および、当該接着室に隣接する隣接室に分断されるチャンバーを形成し、上記チャンバーは或る上記接着室において、上記シートに配した上記第一の基板と、上記チャンバーに配した上記第二の基板とを接着する構成となっており、上記シート伸縮手段は、上記接着室の減圧、および、上記隣接室の加圧の少なくともいずれかを行うことにより上記シートを伸長させて、上記或る接着室において、当該シートに配した上記第一の基板を上記第二の基板に近づけて、上記第一の基板を上記第二の基板に接着させる圧力変化手段であることが好ましい。 In one embodiment of the bonding apparatus according to the present invention, in addition to the above-described configuration, the holding means arranges the sheet therein, and the sheet is adjacent to the bonding chamber and the bonding chamber by the sheet. A chamber divided into a chamber is formed, and the chamber is configured to adhere the first substrate disposed on the sheet and the second substrate disposed in the chamber in a certain bonding chamber. The sheet expansion / contraction means extends the sheet by performing at least one of depressurization of the bonding chamber and pressurization of the adjacent chamber, and is arranged on the sheet in the certain bonding chamber. The pressure change means is preferably a pressure changing means for bringing the first substrate close to the second substrate and bonding the first substrate to the second substrate.
 上記構成によれば、チャンバー内部にシートを配することによって、チャンバー内部を接着室と、当該接着室に隣接する隣接室とに分断することができる。シートは、接着室にと隣接室との境界において通常の場合は伸縮していない状態で存在している。ただ、シートは少なくとも一部分に伸縮性を有している。そのため、上記圧力変化手段によって上記接着室の減圧、および、上記隣接室の加圧の少なくともいずれかが行われると、通常の状態にあったシートには、当該シートを境界にして隣り合っている2つの室の内圧の差によって、一方の室側に向けて引っ張られるあるいは押し出される力が働いて、一方の室側に向かって伸長するように変形する。 According to the above configuration, by disposing the sheet inside the chamber, the inside of the chamber can be divided into an adhesion chamber and an adjacent chamber adjacent to the adhesion chamber. The sheet normally exists in the bonding chamber and the boundary between the adjacent chambers and is not stretched. However, the sheet has elasticity at least partially. Therefore, when at least one of depressurization of the bonding chamber and pressurization of the adjacent chamber is performed by the pressure changing means, the sheet in a normal state is adjacent to the sheet as a boundary. Due to the difference between the internal pressures of the two chambers, a force that is pulled or pushed out toward one of the chambers acts to deform so as to extend toward one of the chambers.
 このようにシートを一方の室側に伸長させることにより、一方の室に配した第二の基板にシートを近づけることができる。 In this way, by extending the sheet to the one chamber side, the sheet can be brought close to the second substrate disposed in the one chamber.
 この原理を利用し、当該シートに第一の基板を配しておくことにより、シートの伸長に伴って、チャンバーに配した第二の基板に当該第一の基板を近づけることができる。上記のように、両基板を近づけることによって、第一の基板と第二の基板とを接触させることができる。 By using this principle and arranging the first substrate on the sheet, the first substrate can be brought closer to the second substrate arranged in the chamber as the sheet is extended. As described above, the first substrate and the second substrate can be brought into contact with each other by bringing the two substrates close to each other.
 本発明に係る接着装置の一形態は、上記の構成に加えて、上記第一の基板と上記第二の基板とを接着させた後、上記シートに対して力を加え、伸長している上記シートを縮めて、当該シートと上記第一の基板とを離す剥離手段を備えていることが好ましい。 In one embodiment of the bonding apparatus according to the present invention, in addition to the above-described configuration, the first substrate and the second substrate are bonded, and then a force is applied to the sheet to extend the sheet. It is preferable to provide a peeling means for shrinking the sheet and separating the sheet from the first substrate.
 上記構成によれば、第一の基板と第二の基板とを接着させた後、第一の基板を第二の基板側に残して、シートだけを剥離手段を用いて元の状態に戻して、シートから第一の基板を外すことができる。 According to the above configuration, after the first substrate and the second substrate are bonded, the first substrate is left on the second substrate side, and only the sheet is returned to the original state using the peeling means. The first substrate can be removed from the sheet.
 本発明に係る接着装置の一形態は、上記の構成に加えて、上記圧力変化手段は、上記第一の基板と上記第二の基板とを接着させた後、上記接着室の加圧、および、上記隣接室の減圧の少なくともいずれかを行うことによって、上記伸長しているシートを縮めて当該シートと上記第一の基板とを離すように構成されている、ことが好ましい。 In one embodiment of the bonding apparatus according to the present invention, in addition to the above-described configuration, the pressure changing unit may bond the first substrate and the second substrate, then pressurize the bonding chamber, and It is preferable that the extension sheet is contracted to separate the sheet and the first substrate by performing at least one of decompression of the adjacent chambers.
 上記構成によれば、第一の基板と第二の基板とを接着させた後、第一の基板を第二の基板側に残して、シートだけを圧力変化手段を用いて元の状態に戻して、シートから第一の基板を外すことができる。 According to the above configuration, after the first substrate and the second substrate are adhered, the first substrate is left on the second substrate side, and only the sheet is returned to the original state using the pressure changing means. The first substrate can be removed from the sheet.
 本発明に係る接着装置の一形態は、上記の構成に加えて、上記圧力変化手段は、上記隣接室の加圧を行うことによって上記シートを伸長させる構成であり、上記圧力変化手段は、上記隣接室の外部から当該隣接室に気体を流入させることによって、上記加圧を行うことが好ましい。 In one embodiment of the bonding apparatus according to the present invention, in addition to the above-described configuration, the pressure change unit is configured to extend the sheet by pressurizing the adjacent chamber, and the pressure change unit includes the above-described configuration. The pressurization is preferably performed by flowing a gas into the adjacent chamber from the outside of the adjacent chamber.
 上記構成によれば、圧力変化手段として物理的な力を加える機構を用いていないため、第一の基板を押し出すために用いる機械的な昇降手段等を要しない。そのため、接着装置が複雑でなく、かつ接着装置のコストを下げることができるという効果を奏する。 According to the above configuration, since a mechanism for applying a physical force is not used as the pressure changing means, there is no need for a mechanical lifting means or the like used to push out the first substrate. For this reason, the bonding apparatus is not complicated, and the cost of the bonding apparatus can be reduced.
 本発明に係る接着装置の一形態は、上記の構成に加えて、上記シートは、上記第一の基板と上記第二の基板とが接触し始める際に第一の基板が第二の基板に対して傾斜した状態となるように構成されている、ことが好ましい。 In one embodiment of the bonding apparatus according to the present invention, in addition to the above-described configuration, when the first substrate and the second substrate start to contact with each other, the first substrate becomes the second substrate. It is preferable that it is comprised so that it may become the state inclined with respect to.
 上記構成によれば、第一の基板が第二の基板に対して傾斜した状態となるため、第一の基板の端部から第二の基板に接触し始めることができる。このように接触させた場合には、接着は第一の基板の端部から接着領域が拡大する方向に進行する。接着領域の拡大は、第一の基板の端部からのみ生じているため、1つの第一の基板において複数の接着領域が同時に生じると最終段階でこれらの領域が1つの合わさる際に領域と領域との境界部分に生じてしまう空気だまりなどのような欠陥が形成されにくく、接着不良は生じにくいという効果を奏する。 According to the above configuration, since the first substrate is inclined with respect to the second substrate, it is possible to start contact with the second substrate from the end portion of the first substrate. When contact is made in this way, the adhesion proceeds in the direction in which the adhesion area expands from the end of the first substrate. Since the enlargement of the adhesion region occurs only from the end of the first substrate, when a plurality of adhesion regions occur simultaneously on one first substrate, the region and the region when these regions are combined into one at the final stage. It is difficult to form defects such as air traps that occur at the boundary between the two and the defective adhesion.
 また、上記構成によれば、接着不良が生じている接着基板の割合を少なくできるため、歩留まりを向上させることができる。 Further, according to the above configuration, since the proportion of the adhesive substrate in which adhesion failure occurs can be reduced, the yield can be improved.
 本発明に係る接着装置の一形態は、上記の構成に加えて、上記保持手段は、上記第二の基板と上記第一の基板とが接触し始める際に第二の基板が第一の基板に対して傾斜した状態となるように、第二の基板を保持していることが好ましい。 In one form of the bonding apparatus according to the present invention, in addition to the above configuration, the holding means is configured such that the second substrate is the first substrate when the second substrate and the first substrate start to contact each other. It is preferable to hold the second substrate so as to be inclined with respect to.
 上記構成によれば、第二の基板が第一の基板に対して傾斜した状態となるため、第一の基板の端部から第二の基板に接触し始めることができる。このように接触させた場合には、接着は第一の基板の端部から接着領域が拡大する方向に進行する。接着領域の拡大は、第一の基板の端部からのみ生じているため、1つの第一の基板において複数の接着領域が同時に生じると最終段階でこれらの領域が1つの合わさる際に領域と領域との境界部分に生じてしまう空気だまりなどのような欠陥が形成されにくく、接着不良が生じにくいという効果を奏する。 According to the above configuration, since the second substrate is inclined with respect to the first substrate, the second substrate can be brought into contact with the end portion of the first substrate. When contact is made in this way, the adhesion proceeds in the direction in which the adhesion area expands from the end of the first substrate. Since the enlargement of the adhesion region occurs only from the end of the first substrate, when a plurality of adhesion regions occur simultaneously on one first substrate, the region and the region when these regions are combined into one at the final stage. It is difficult to form defects such as air traps that occur at the boundary between the two and the effect of poor adhesion.
 また、上記構成によれば、接着不良が生じている接着基板の割合を少なくできるため、歩留まりを向上させることができるという効果を奏する。 Further, according to the above configuration, since the ratio of the adhesive substrate in which adhesion failure occurs can be reduced, there is an effect that the yield can be improved.
 本発明に係る接着装置の一形態は、上記第一の基板として半導体基板を用いて、上記第二の基板として絶縁体基板を用いることができる。 In one embodiment of the bonding apparatus according to the present invention, a semiconductor substrate can be used as the first substrate, and an insulator substrate can be used as the second substrate.
 上記構成によれば、接着装置は複雑な機構を有していないため、接着装置のコストを下げることが可能である。そのため、安価なSOI(slicon on insulator)基板を作製することができるという効果を奏する。 According to the above configuration, since the bonding apparatus does not have a complicated mechanism, the cost of the bonding apparatus can be reduced. Therefore, there is an effect that an inexpensive SOI (silicon on insulator) substrate can be manufactured.
 本発明は、上記の構成の接着装置を用いて製造される、上記第一の基板と上記第二の基板とが接着した接着基板も含む。 The present invention also includes an adhesive substrate manufactured by using the bonding apparatus having the above-described configuration, in which the first substrate and the second substrate are bonded.
