Abstract

The substrate joining method is a substrate joining method for joying two substrates, including a hydrophilic treatment step of hydrophilizing at least one of respective joint surfaces of the two substrates that are to be joined to each other and a joining step of joining the two substrates after the hydrophilic treatment step. The hydrophilic treatment step includes a step of performing a N2 RIE treatment to perform reactive ion etching using N2 gas on the joint surfaces of the substrates and a step of performing a N2 radical treatment to irradiate the joint surfaces of the substrates with N2 radicals after the step of performing the N2 RIE treatment.
