  • Patent number: 11895779
    Abstract: The method for processing a substrate includes the substrate preparation step of preparing the substrate, the pattern formation step of forming dummy patterns extending in an X-direction on the substrate, the mask arrangement step of arranging a stencil mask having multiple opening patterns on the substrate, the coating formation step of forming a metal film on the substrate through the multiple opening patterns, and the separation step of separating the dummy patterns from the substrate to obtain a submount. The dummy pattern has protrusion formed such that a side surface of the submount is exposed and formed close to the side surface with a clearance.

  • Patent number: 9611142
    Abstract: At the first etching step of etching an SOI substrate from a first silicon layer side, a portion of a first structure formed of the first silicon layer is formed as a pre-structure having a larger shape than a final shape. At the mask formation step of forming a final mask on a second silicon layer side of the SOI substrate, a first mask corresponding to the final shape of the first structure is formed in the pre-structure. At the second etching step of etching the SOI substrate from the second silicon layer side, the second silicon layer and the pre-structure are, using the first mask, etched to form the final shape of the first structure.
