COMPOSITE SUBSTRATE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE COMPOSITE SUBSTRATE
First Claim
1. A composite substrate comprising:
- a piezoelectric substrate;
a support substrate; and
an adhesive layer with which the piezoelectric substrate and the support substrate are bonded to each other,wherein the adhesive layer includes a flat portion and a swelling portion formed in an outer peripheral area of the flat portion, andthe piezoelectric substrate includes a first surface that is bonded to the flat portion of the adhesive layer and a second surface at the side opposite to the front surface, and is bonded to the support substrate in an area excluding the swelling portion.

Abstract
In a composite substrate, a back surface of a piezoelectric substrate and a front surface of a support substrate are bonded to each other with an adhesive layer. The adhesive layer includes a swelling portion at an outer peripheral area thereof, and the piezoelectric substrate is bonded to the support substrate in an area excluding the swelling portion 16a. Accordingly, air bubbles do not easily enter between the swelling portion of the adhesive layer and the piezoelectric substrate, and separations caused by the air bubbles can be prevented. As a result, the support substrate and the piezoelectric substrate can be reliably bonded to each other with the adhesive layer including the swelling portion in the outer peripheral area thereof.

5. A method for manufacturing a composite substrate, comprising:
-
(a) a step of preparing a piezoelectric substrate; (b) a step of applying an adhesive to a support substrate by spin coating; and (c) a step of forming a composite substrate by bonding the support substrate and the piezoelectric substrate to each other with the adhesive, wherein the piezoelectric substrate prepared in step (a) includes a first surface and is shaped such that, in bonding in step (c), the first surface of the piezoelectric substrate is capable of being bonded to a flat portion of the adhesive layer and the piezoelectric substrate is capable of being bonded to the support substrate in an area excluding a swelling portion of the adhesive layer that is formed in an outer peripheral area of the flat portion, the flat portion and the swelling portion being formed when the adhesive is applied to the support substrate by spin coating in step (b), and in step (c), the bonding is performed so that the first surface is bonded to the flat surface of the adhesive layer and that the piezoelectric substrate is bonded to the support substrate in the area excluding the swelling portion of the adhesive layer.
