Abstract: A substrate laminating apparatus, including a first vacuum chamber including a first opening; a first table provided inside the first opening for holding a first substrate; a second vacuum chamber including a second opening; a second table provided inside the second opening for holding a second substrate, wherein the substrates are laminated by reducing a pressure in a closed space formed by having the first opening faced with the second opening. The apparatus also includes a vacuum evacuation unit connected to the first vacuum chamber or the second vacuum chamber and performs reduced-pressure evacuation of the closed space. When there is a direction along which priority is given on lamination precision when laminating the first and second substrates, and the direction is defined as a lamination precision priority direction, a reduced-pressure evacuation direction done by the vacuum evacuation unit is a direction different from the lamination precision priority direction.

The sum of the longitudinal aperture widths of the two overlapping regions overlapping with each other at a same position in the first direction is larger than the longitudinal aperture width in roughly the center of the aperture part.
