1. A device comprising:
- a first surface configured to support a plurality of semiconductor substrates;
a second surface that opposes the first surface such that the plurality of semiconductor substrates is between the first surface and the second surface;
a driving unit operable to move the first surface toward the second surface until the first surface reaches a predetermined position; and
a pressing unit operable to deliver a pressing force to the first surface towards the second surface;
an instruction setting section including at least one instruction to implement cooperative control of the pressing unit bymoving the first surface toward the second surface with the driving unit,detecting a change in position of the first surface with a position sensor while the driving unit moves the first surface toward the second surface, andadjusting a volume of a main room of the pressing unit in response to the detected change in position of the first surface until the position sensor detects that the first surface has reached the predetermined position.

Abstract
A pressuring module includes a stage having a mounting surface on which an object to be pressured is mounted; a plurality of pressure detecting sections that detect a pressure applied on the mounting surface; and a pressure varying section that varies a pressure distribution across a plane of the mounting surface, by differing a pressing force against the object to be pressured between a periphery and a central portion of the mounting surface in a plane direction of the mounting surface based on the pressure detected by the plurality of pressure detecting sections.

11. A device comprising:
-
a first surface configured to support a plurality of semiconductor substrates; a second surface that opposes the first surface such that the plurality of semiconductor substrates is between the first surface and the second surface; a main piston that is directly fixed to the first surface and operates according to an amount of fluid in a main cylinder to move the first surface towards the second surface; and a sub piston that is inserted through the main cylinder and fixed to the main piston and the first surface, the sub piston operating according to an amount of fluid in a sub cylinder to move the first surface towards the second surface; wherein the amount of fluid in the sub cylinder is in cooperation with the amount of fluid in the main cylinder, and wherein the main piston, the sub piston, and the first surface are all fixed together as a single body, such that the single body and the plurality of semiconductor substrates move toward the second surface in unison. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
