Abstract
Abstract A method for separating bonded substrates which are prepared by facing a plurality of substrates and bonding the substrates by an adhesive features irradiating an energy beam on the bonding portions of the bonded substrates from above one of the bonded substrates to separate the one substrate and the other substrate. The energy beam has the property of being transmitted through the one substrate and of being absorbed into the adhesive.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
A method for separating bonded substrates which are prepared by facing a plurality of substrates and bonding the substrates by an adhesive, comprising the steps of: generating a laser beam by an excimer laser, said laser beam having a wavelength in an ultraviolet region; irradiating said laser beam onto portions of the bonding adhesive of the bonded substrates from above one of the bonding adhesive and separate the plurality of substrates, the laser beam having the property of being transmitted through the one substrate and of being absorbed into the adhesive, wherein the adhesive is made of a polymer material.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
100 words
A method for separating bonded substrates which are prepared by facing a plurality of substrates and bonding the substrates by an adhesive, comprising the steps of: generating a laser beam by an excimer laser, said laser beam having a wavelength in an ultraviolet region; irradiating said laser beam onto portions of the bonding adhesive of the bonded substrates from above one of the bonding adhesive and separate the plurality of substrates, the laser beam having the property of being transmitted through the one substrate and of being absorbed into the adhesive, wherein the adhesive is made of a polymer material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein the bonded substrates are used to form a liquid crystal display device.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
40 words
A method according to claim 1, further comprising the steps of: holding the bonded substrates by suction; and generating a shearing force to the bonded substrates after completion of the irradiation by the laser beam to separate the bonded substrates.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
38 words
A method according to claim 1, further comprising the steps of: holding the bonded substrates by suction; and generating a shearing force to the bonded substrates during the irradiation by the laser beam to separate the bonded substrates.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
39 words
A method according to claim 1, further comprising the steps of: heating at least one of the bonded substrates after completion of the irradiation by the laser beam to generate thermal stress in it, thereby separating the bonded substrates.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
37 words
A method according to claim 1, further comprising the steps of: heating at least one of the bonded substrates during the irradiation by the laser beam to generate thermal stress in it, thereby separating the bonded substrates.
