Method for manufacturing thin film integrated circuit, and element substrate
First Claim
1. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising the steps of:
- forming a separation layer over a first substrate;
forming a first transistor and a second transistor over the separation layer;
forming an insulating film over the first transistor, the second transistor, and the separation layer;
selectively etching the insulating film, and forming a groove between the first transistor and the second transistor to expose the separation layer;
attaching a second substrate having an opening so that the opening is overlapped with the groove, wherein the second substrate is provided with an antenna; and
separating the first substrate from the first transistor and the second transistor by introducing an etchant into the opening and removing the separation layer.

Abstract
Applications and demand for an IC chip formed with a silicon wafer are expected to increase, and further reduction in cost is required. An object of the invention is to provide a structure of an IC chip and a process capable of being produced at a lower cost. In view of the above described object, one feature of the invention is to provide the steps of forming a separation layer over an insulating substrate and forming a thin film integrated circuit having a semiconductor film of as an active region over the separation layer, wherein the thin film integrated circuit is not separated. In the case of using an insulating substrate, there is less limitation on the shape of the mother substrate when compared to a case of taking a chip out of a circular silicon wafer. Accordingly, reduction in cost of an IC chip can be achieved.
