Two workpieces composed of a resin workpiece and a resin workpiece, or composed of a resin workpiece and a glass substrate are bonded to each other such that troubles, such as an alignment shift and breakage etc. are not generated, while ensuring bonding uniformity. A first workpiece is placed on an inverting stage of an inverting stage unit, a second workpiece is placed on a work stage of a pressurizing stage unit, and UV light is radiated from a light irradiation unit. Then, the inverting stage is inverted 180&#xb0;, the workpieces are overlapped each other on the work stage, and the workpieces are pressurized and pre-bonded to each other. Then, the workpieces in the pre-bonded state are transferred to a heating stage by a transfer means, the temperature of the workpieces is increased to a predetermined temperature by heating the workpieces, and the temperature is maintained until bonding is completed.

Method and apparatus for bonding workpieces together

An optical irradiation equipment provided with a cage body having an UV radiation transmission window, and an excimer lamp which is arranged in an interior of said cage body, wherein gas flow openings being connected to one of a cooling gas supply mechanism and a cooling gas suction mechanism are provided at a periphery of said UV radiation transmission window.
