Bottom up electroplating with release layer
A method for producing a conductive through-via, including applying a seed layer on a surface of a first substrate, and forming a surface modification layer on at least one of the seed layer and a second substrate. Next, the second substrate is bonded to the first substrate with the surface modification layer to form an assembly. A conductive release layer is formed in the at least one through-via by placing a conductive release material into the at least one through-via. The conductive release layer is present on the seed layer and in the at least one through-via. A conductive metal material is applied to the at least one through-via, and the second substrate is removed from the assembly after applying the conductive metal material to the at least one through via.

SUBSTRATE BONDING METHOD
A substrate bonding method includes: forming first plasma on a bonding surface of a first substrate at atmospheric pressure by using a mixed gas including an inert gas and water vapor, to thereby perform surface activation treatment on the bonding surface of the first substrate; forming second plasma on a bonding surface of a second substrate at atmospheric pressure by using the mixed gas, to thereby perform surface activation treatment on the bonding surface of the second substrate; bonding the bonding surface of the first substrate and the bonding surface of the second substrate to each other; and moving each of the first substrate and the second substrate at a constant speed in a region above a linear reactor in which the first plasma and the second plasma are formed.
