Patent ID: 8211259

Claim:
A separating method of a bonded body, the bonded body including a first base member, a second base member and a bonding film through which the first and second base members are bonded together, the bonding film containing a silicone material composed of silicone compounds, the separating method comprising: applying a liquid material containing the silicone material onto a surface of at least one of the first and second base members, to form a liquid coating on the surface; drying the liquid coating so that it is transformed into the bonding film on the surface of the at least one of the first and second base members; applying energy for bonding to the bonding film so that a bonding property is developed in the vicinity of a surface thereof, to thereby bond the first and second base members together through the bonding film to obtain the bonded body, wherein the applying the energy for bonding is performed by a method in which an ultraviolet ray having a wavelength of 126 to 172 nm is irradiated on the bonding film; and applying energy for separation to the bonding film so that cleavage is generated within the bonding film due to breakage of a part of molecular bonds of the silicone compounds, to thereby separate the bonded body into the first and second base members, wherein the applying the energy for separation is performed by both a method in which the ultraviolet ray having the wavelength of 126 to 172 nm is irradiated on the bonding film and a method in which the bonding film is heated at a temperature of 100 to 400° C., wherein each of the silicone compounds has a polyorganosiloxane chemical structure having end portions, wherein the polyorganosiloxane chemical structure includes: first units at the both end portions of the polyorganosiloxane chemical structure, and second units for connecting the first units, wherein each of the first units is represented by the following general formula (1), and each of the second units is represented by the following general formula (2): where each R is independently a substituted hydrocarbon group or an unsubstituted hydrocarbon group, each Z is independently a hydroxyl group or a hydrolysable group, each X is a siloxane residue, a is 0 or an integer of 1 to 3, and b is 0 or an integer of 1 to 2, wherein the surface of each of the first and second base members which makes contact with the bonding film has been, in advance, subjected to an ultraviolet ray irradiation treatment for improving bonding strength between each of the first and second base members and the bonding film, and wherein magnitude of the energy for separation is larger than that of the energy for bonding.
