Abstract

A substrate bonding method for mutually bonding substrates, has a first radiation step for irradiating the surfaces of the individual substrates with an oxygen particle beam, a second radiation step for irradiating the surfaces of the individual substrate with a nitrogen particle beam simultaneously with or subsequently to the first radiation step, and a step for stacking the individual substrates and bringing the surfaces thereof into close contact. Particularly, the substrates which have been irradiated first with an oxygen plasma and subsequently with a nitrogen plasma are stacked and bonded.
