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.
