Patents by Inventor Keiichiro Tsutsumi

Keiichiro Tsutsumi has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9580306
    Abstract: A room temperature bonding apparatus includes a first beam source, a second beam source, and a press bonding mechanism. The first beam source emits a first activation beam that irradiates a first surface of a first substrate. Independently from the first beam source, the second beam source emits a second activation beam that irradiates a second surface of a second substrate. The press bonding mechanism bonds between the first substrate and the second substrate by contacting between the first surface and the second surface after the first surface is irradiated with the first activation beam and the second surface is irradiated with the second activation beam. Thus, a plurality of the substrates made of different materials is appropriately bonded.

  • Publication number: 20150294900
    Abstract: A room-temperature bonded device has a first substrate having a first surface and a second substrate having a second surface to be bonded to the first surface. In the bonding of the first surface and the second surface, one of the first surface and the second surface contains an inorganic material such as silicon, SiO2, GaN and LiTaO3. The other of the first surface and the second surface contains an inorganic material such as silicon, SiO2, quartz and Au. The inorganic materials of the first surface and the second surface may be same or may be different.

  • Publication number: 20120247645
    Abstract: The present invention includes an activating step S2 of activating, by irradiating a first substrate surface of a first substrate and a second substrate surface of a second substrate with particles, the second substrate surface and the first substrate surface, and a bonding step S4 of bonding the second substrate and the first substrate together by bringing the second substrate surface and the first substrate surface into contact with each other after a temperature difference between a temperature of the first substrate and a temperature of the second substrate becomes equal to or lower than a predetermined value. According to this bonding method, warpage occurring in a bonded substrate obtained can be further reduced compared with other bonding methods of bonding both substrates before the temperature difference between the temperature of the first substrate and the temperature of the second substrate becomes equal to or lower than a predetermined value.
