Attachment method
An attachment method including an overlapping step of overlapping a support plate over a substrate under a reduced pressure environment; a temporary fixing step of temporarily fixing the support plate to the substrate; and an attaching step of attaching the support plate to the substrate under a reduced pressure environment. The method further includes, prior to the overlapping step, at least one of a first heating step in which heating is performed under an atmospheric pressure environment and a second heating step in which heating is performed under a reduced pressure environment.
1. An attachment method of attaching a support body to a substrate via an adhesive layer,
a release layer to be altered when irradiated with light being formed on the support body,
the method comprising:
overlapping the support body over the substrate under a reduced pressure environment via the release layer and the adhesive layer;
temporarily fixing the support body to the substrate via the release layer and the adhesive layer by pressing partial regions of the support body toward the substrate under a reduced pressure environment after the overlapping;
attaching the support body to the substrate under a reduced pressure environment, both of which are temporarily fixed together via the release layer and the adhesive layer; and
prior to the overlapping, (i) both heating the substrate and the support body under an atmospheric pressure environment and heating the substrate and the support body under a reduced pressure environment or (ii) heating the substrate and the support body under a reduced pressure environment,
wherein:
the overlapping is performed under a reduced pressure environment adjusted to a pressure of 0.1 Pa or greater and 3000 Pa or less; and
the substrate and the support body are heated under a reduced pressure environment of 3000 Pa or less.
2. The attachment method according to claim 1 ,
wherein in the overlapping, a pressure environment for overlapping the support body over the substrate is adjusted depending on the type of the substrate or the adhesive layer.
3. The attachment method according to claim 1 ,
wherein in the attaching, the support body is attached to the substrate under a reduced pressure environment of 10 Pa or less, both of which are temporarily fixed together via the release layer and the adhesive layer.
4. The attachment method according to claim 1 ,
wherein in the temporary fixing, a force of pressing the partial regions of the support body toward the substrate is adjusted by a biasing unit or torque control.
5. The attachment method according to claim 1 , further comprising,
heating the substrate and the support body temporarily fixed together after the temporary fixing and prior to the attaching.
6. The attachment method according to claim 5 ,
wherein the substrate and the support body temporarily fixed together are heated while a force of pressing the partial regions of the support body toward the substrate is adjusted by a biasing unit.
7. An attachment method of attaching a support body to a substrate via an adhesive layer,
a release layer to be altered when irradiated with light being formed on the support body,
the method comprising:
overlapping the support body over the substrate under a reduced pressure environment via the release layer and the adhesive layer;
temporarily fixing the support body to the substrate via the release layer and the adhesive layer by pressing partial regions of the support body toward the substrate, which is supported by a plurality of pins, under a reduced pressure environment after the overlapping;
attaching the support body to the substrate under a reduced pressure environment, both of which are temporarily fixed together via the release layer and the adhesive layer; and
prior to the overlapping, at least one of a (i) heating the substrate and the support body under an atmospheric pressure environment and (ii) heating the substrate and the support body under a reduced pressure environment,
wherein the overlapping is performed under a reduced pressure environment adjusted to a pressure of 0.1 Pa or greater and 3000 Pa or less.
8. The attachment method according to claim 7 , wherein a pressure environment for overlapping the support body over the substrate is adjusted depending on the type of the substrate or the adhesive layer.
9. The attachment method according to claim 7 , wherein the substrate and the support body are heated under a reduced pressure environment of 3000 Pa or less.
10. The attachment method according to claim 7 , wherein the support body is attached to the substrate under a reduced pressure environment of 10 Pa or less, both of which are temporarily fixed together via the release layer and the adhesive layer.
11. The attachment method according to claim 7 , wherein in the temporary fixing, a force of pressing the partial regions of the support body toward the substrate is adjusted by a spring member or torque control.
12. The attachment method according to claim 7 , further comprising heating the substrate and the support body temporarily fixed together after the temporary fixing and prior to the attaching.
13. The attachment method according to claim 12 , wherein the substrate and the support body temporarily fixed together are heated while a force of pressing the partial regions of the support body toward the substrate is adjusted by a spring member.
