Publication number: 20240079222Abstract: A surface modifying apparatus is configured to modify a bonding surface of a substrate to be bonded to another substrate by plasma of a processing gas. The surface modifying apparatus includes a processing vessel; a measuring unit; and a controller. The processing vessel is configured to accommodate the substrate therein. The measuring unit is configured to measure a value indicating an amount of moisture in the processing vessel. The controller is configured to determine whether or not bonding strength between the substrate and the another substrate, when it is assumed that the substrate modified in the processing vessel is bonded to the another substrate, is good based on the value indicating the amount of moisture in the processing vessel measured by the measuring unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2022Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Takashi Terada, Yuji Mimura, Hiroshi Maeda, Takuro Masuzumi, Masaru Honda, Ryoichi Sakamoto
