Abstract

An object is to eliminate electric discharge due to static electricity generated by peeling when an element formation layer including a semiconductor element is peeled from a substrate used for manufacturing the semiconductor element. A substrate over which an element formation layer and a peeling layer are formed and a film are made to go through a gap between pressurization rollers. The film is attached to the element formation layer between the pressurization rollers. The film is bent along a curved surface of the pressurization roller on a side of the pressurization rollers, where the film is collected, and accordingly, peeling is generated between the element formation layer and the peeling layer and the element formation layer is transferred to the film. Liquid such as pure water is sequentially supplied by a nozzle to a gap between the element formation layer and the peeling layer, which is generated by peeling, so that electric charge generated on surfaces of the element formation layer and the peeling layer is diffused by the liquid.

Claims (45)

1. A manufacturing apparatus of a semiconductor device comprising:

a unit for attaching a flexible substrate to an element formation layer including a semiconductor element formed over a substrate;

a unit for moving the flexible substrate so as to transform the element formation layer; and

a unit for supplying liquid to a surface which is exposed by peeling of the element formation layer.

2. A manufacturing apparatus of a semiconductor device comprising:

a unit for attaching a flexible substrate to an element formation layer including a semiconductor element formed over a substrate;

a unit for moving the flexible substrate so as to transform the element formation layer; and

a tank for liquid,

wherein the element formation layer is peeled from the substrate in the liquid.

3. The manufacturing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the unit for attaching the flexible substrate to the element formation layer includes a roller having a curved surface, and

wherein the flexible substrate and the element formation layer are bent along the curved surface.

4. The manufacturing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the element formation layer is separated from the substrate while bending the element formation layer, moving the flexible substrate, and supplying the liquid, and is transferred to the flexible substrate.

5. The manufacturing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the liquid is pure water.

6. The manufacturing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

further comprising a unit for moving the substrate.

7. The manufacturing apparatus according to claim 6 ,
