Patents by Inventor Toru Tonegawa

Toru Tonegawa 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: 9855734
    Abstract: Provided is a method of treating a wafer in the state where the wafer is fixed on a support plate with an adhesive composition. Although the wafer is treated by a chemical, heating, or exothermic treatment, the method achieves sufficient adhesiveness during the step of treating a surface of the wafer and allows detachment of the support plate from the wafer without damaging the wafer or leaving the adhesive on the wafer after the wafer treating step. The method of treating a wafer of the present invention includes the steps of: fixing a wafer on a support plate via an adhesive composition containing a curable adhesive component to be crosslinked and cured by light irradiation or heating; crosslinking and curing the curable adhesive component by light irradiation or heating of the adhesive composition; treating a surface of the wafer fixed on the support plate by a chemical, heating, or exothermic treatment; and detaching the support plate from the treated wafer.

  • Patent number: 8568687
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a solid acid catalyst using industrial waste such as an insulator, optical fiber, and tip material is provided. The raw material contains a template agent, a compound having a formula of R14COR15, where R14 and R15 are alkyl groups, a silicon-containing inorganic compound, an aluminum-containing inorganic compound, and water with a weight ratio of SiO2/Al2O3 of at least 1,000. The raw material is heat treated in a closed chamber (a first heat treatment), and heat treated in an atmosphere containing oxygen (a second heat treatment).

  • Publication number: 20130220533
    Abstract: The present invention aims to provide an adhesive composition which has high initial adhesion and can strongly fix an adherend, while can be peeled off easily by light irradiation even after undergoing a high-temperature process at 200° C. or higher. The present invention also aims to provide an adhesive tape produced from the adhesive composition, and wafer treatment method using the adhesive composition. The present invention provides an adhesive composition including an adhesive component, a photoinitiator, and a silicone compound containing a functional group that is crosslinkable with the adhesive component.
