  • Patent number: 11177373
    Abstract: A semiconductor device is manufactured with high mass productivity at low cost. Yield in a manufacturing process of the semiconductor device is improved. An island-shaped metal oxide layer is formed over a substrate, a resin layer is formed over the metal oxide layer to cover an end portion of the metal oxide layer, and the metal oxide layer and the resin layer are separated by light irradiation. After forming the resin layer and before the light irradiation, an insulating layer is formed over the resin layer. For example, the resin layer is formed in an island shape and the insulating layer is formed to cover an end portion of the resin layer. In the case where an adhesive layer is formed over the resin layer, the adhesive layer is preferably formed to be located inward from the end portion of the metal oxide layer.
