  • Patent number: 11945974
    Abstract: A temporary fixing composition is provided that is used to temporarily fix a first bonding target material and a second bonding target material to each other before the two bonding target materials are bonded to each other. The temporary fixing composition contains a first organic component having a viscosity of less than 70 mPa·s at 25° C. and a boiling point of 200° C. or lower and a second organic component having a viscosity of 70 mPa·s or greater at 25° C. and a boiling point of 210° C. or higher. It is preferable that, when thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis is performed under the conditions at a temperature increase rate of 10° C./min in a nitrogen atmosphere with a sample mass of 30 mg, the 95% mass reduction temperature is lower than 300° C.

  • Patent number: 11931995
    Abstract: A bonding method includes attracting and holding a first substrate by using a first holder; attracting and holding a second substrate by using a second holder; and forming a combined substrate by moving the first holder and the second holder relative to each other to bring the first substrate and the second substrate into contact with each other. The bonding method includes heating the first substrate and the second substrate or the combined substrate; and cooling the heated combined substrate by using a cooling unit. In the cooling, bending of the combined substrate is controlled by forming a temperature difference in the combined substrate.
