Bonded body and method of manufacturing bonded body

Abstract

A bonded body having high dimensional accuracy and manufactured easily without problems which occur in the solid bonding method and a method of manufacturing such a bonded body are provided. The bonded body includes a first base member having a first bonding surface; a second base member having a second bonding surface; and a bonding film through which the first base member and the second base member are boded together, the bonding film having two surfaces each making contact with the first bonding surface and the second bonding surface, the bonding film including a silicone portion containing a silicone material composed of silicone compounds and a plurality of gap members that regulate a distance between the first base member and the second base member, at least a part of the gap members provided in the silicone portion. In such a bonded body, energy for bonding is applied to a region of at least a part of the bonding film to develop a bonding property in a vicinity of each of the surfaces of the bonding film corresponding to the region so that the first base member and the second base member are bonded together through the bonding film due to the bonding property.
