Abstract

This invention is to guarantee that in separating a plate member such as a bonded substrate stack, a fluid is injected to an appropriate portion of the plate member. While a bonded substrate stack (50) is rotated, the vertical position of its peripheral portion is measured throughout its perimeter by a measuring device (150). Then, while the vertical position of a nozzle (120) is dynamically adjusted on the basis of the measurement result, and at the same time, the bonded substrate stack (50) is rotated, the bonded substrate stack (50) is separated into two substrates at a porous layer by injecting a fluid ejected from the nozzle (120).
