  • Publication number: 20240254616
    Abstract: There have been cases where transistors formed using oxide semiconductors are inferior in reliability to transistors formed using amorphous silicon. Thus, in the present invention, a semiconductor device including a highly reliable transistor formed using an oxide semiconductor is manufactured. An oxide semiconductor film is deposited by a sputtering method, using a sputtering target including an oxide semiconductor having crystallinity, and in which the direction of the c-axis of a crystal is parallel to a normal vector of the top surface of the oxide semiconductor. The target is formed by mixing raw materials so that its composition ratio can obtain a crystal structure.

  • Patent number: 11908976
    Abstract: An object is to provide a highly reliable light emitting device which is thin and is not damaged by external local pressure. Further, another object is to manufacture a light emitting device with a high yield by preventing defects of a shape and characteristics due to external stress in a manufacture process. A light emitting element is sealed between a first structure body in which a fibrous body is impregnated with an organic resin and a second structure body in which a fibrous body is impregnated with an organic resin, whereby a highly reliable light emitting device which is thin and has intensity can be provided. Further, a light emitting device can be manufactured with a high yield by preventing defects of a shape and characteristics in a manufacture process.

    Abstract: A circuit capable of high-speed operation and a pixel are integrally formed over the same substrate. A first metal oxide film, a first metal film, and an island-shaped first resist mask are formed over a first insulating layer. An island-shaped first metal layer and an island-shaped first oxide semiconductor layer are formed and a part of a top surface of the first insulating layer is exposed; then, the first resist mask is removed. A second metal oxide film, a second metal film, and an island-shaped second resist mask are formed over the first metal layer and the first insulating layer. An island-shaped second metal layer and an island-shaped second oxide semiconductor layer are formed; then, the second resist mask is removed. The first metal layer and the second metal layer are removed.
