  • Publication number: 20240066624
    Abstract: A bonding method for bonding two substrates (W1, W2) includes: a heat treatment process of heating a bonding surface to be bonded to each other of each of the two substrates (W1, W2) to a temperature higher than 60° C. in a reduced-pressure atmosphere; an activation treatment process of activating the bonding surface of each of the two substrates (W1, W2) in a state of maintaining the reduced-pressure atmosphere after the heat treatment process; and a bonding process of bonding the two substrates (W1, W2) in a state of maintaining the reduced-pressure atmosphere after the activation treatment process. In the heat treatment process, the state of heating the bonding surface of each of the two substrates (W1, W2) to a temperature higher than 60° C. may be maintained for 30 seconds or more in a state of maintaining the reduced-pressure atmosphere. The gas pressure in the heat treatment process may be 10?2 Pa or less.

  • Patent number: 9203987
    Abstract: This invention has as its object to allow an authentication process that avoids unnecessary information from being stored in a digital camera irrespective of whether or not a digital camera connected to the printer has a direct print function. To this end, in this invention, in an early stage of connection between a digital camera DSC and PD printer, the PD printer side requests an object which contains a keyword as authentication information of those which are stored and held by the DSC (S29). As a result, after it is determined the returned information contains authentication information, the printer notifies the DSC of its own authentication information (S33).
