Abstract

To provide a peeling method that achieves low cost and high mass productivity. The peeling method includes the steps of: forming a first layer with a photosensitive material over a formation substrate; forming a first region and a second region having a smaller thickness than the first region in the first layer by photolithography to form a resin layer having the first region and the second region; forming a transistor including an oxide semiconductor in a channel formation region over the first region in the resin layer; forming a conductive layer over the second region in the resin layer; and irradiating the resin layer with laser light to separate the transistor and the formation substrate.

Claims (23)

1. A peeling method comprising the steps of:

forming a first layer comprising a photosensitive material over a formation substrate;

removing part of the first layer by photolithography to form a resin layer having a first region and a second region, the second region having a smaller thickness than the first region;

forming a transistor comprising an oxide semiconductor in a channel formation region over the resin layer, wherein the transistor overlaps with the first region of the resin layer;

forming a conductive layer over the resin layer, wherein the conductive layer overlaps with the second region of the resin layer; and

separating the transistor and the formation substrate by irradiating the resin layer with laser light.

2. The peeling method according to claim 1 , wherein the first region and the second region of the resin layer are formed by using a multi-tone mask.

3. The peeling method according to claim 1 , further comprising a step of ashing the resin layer to expose the conductive layer after separating the transistor and the formation substrate.

4. A peeling method comprising the steps of:

forming a first layer comprising a photosensitive material over a formation substrate;

removing part of the first layer by photolithography to form a resin layer comprising a depressed portion;

forming an insulating layer covering a side surface of the depressed portion of the resin layer;

forming a transistor comprising an oxide semiconductor in a channel formation region over the insulating layer;

forming a conductive layer over the resin layer, wherein the conductive layer overlaps with the depressed portion of the resin layer; and

separating the transistor and the formation substrate by irradiating the resin layer with laser light.

5. The peeling method according to claim 4 , wherein the depressed portion of the resin layer is formed by using a multi-tone mask.

6. The peeling method according to claim 4 , further comprising a step of ashing the resin layer to expose the conductive layer after separating the transistor and the formation substrate.

7. The peeling method according to claim 4 , further comprising a step of forming an opening in the insulating layer,

wherein the opening of the insulating layer overlaps with the depressed portion of the resin layer.

8. The peeling method according to claim 4 , wherein the resin layer is processed into an island shape by using a multi-tone mask.

9. The peeling method according to claim 4 , wherein the resin layer is irradiated with the laser light from the formation substrate side.

10. The peeling method according to claim 4 , wherein the insulating layer further covers a bottom surface of the depressed portion of the resin layer.

11. The peeling method according to claim 4 , wherein the conductive layer comprises an oxide conductive layer.
