  • Patent number: 10586727
    Abstract: A suction stage may include a mounting section configured to mount a first substrate, and an evacuation section configured to evacuate air between the first substrate and the mounting section. The mounting section includes a ring-shaped first wall part, and a ring-shaped second wall part inside the first wall part. The evacuation section includes a first control valve between the evacuation section and a first region between the first and second wall parts, a second control valve between the evacuation section and a second region inside the second wall part, and a control section configured to control the valves. The control section is configured to control the valves so that suction and non-suction of the first substrate are alternately performed in at least one of the regions. Thus, suction of the first substrate may be deactivated in one of the regions, while the suction is active in the other region.

  • Patent number: 9741596
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a bonding apparatus for processing a retained substrate includes a main body unit, a nozzle, a gas supply unit, and a substrate support unit. The nozzle opens on a face of the main body unit on a side that a first substrate is retained. The gas supply unit is configured to supply gas to the nozzle, to apply suction to the first substrate and to separate the substrate from the face of the main body unit. The substrate support unit is configured to support a peripheral edge portion of a second substrate provided in opposition to the first substrate with a predetermined gap.

  • Patent number: 9718710
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a treatment apparatus includes a dialysis unit, a treatment unit and a recovery unit. The dialysis unit is configured to dialyze a solution including a phosphoric acid, a silicon compound, and water. The treatment unit is configured to perform treatment of an object to be treated using a dialyzed solution. The recovery unit is configured to recover a solution used in the treatment of the object to be treated and supply to the dialysis unit. The dialysis unit includes a transmission part which allows anions to be transmitted. The recovery unit supplies the solution used in the treatment of the object to be treated, to a region in the dialysis unit. The region is divided by the transmission part.
