  • Publication number: 20220320340
    Abstract: A semiconductor device with favorable electrical characteristics is provided. A highly reliable semiconductor device is provided. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor layer, a first insulating layer over the semiconductor layer, and a conductive layer over the first insulating layer. The semiconductor layer includes a first region, a pair of second regions, a pair of third regions, and a pair of fourth regions. The second regions sandwich the first region, the third regions sandwich the first region and the second regions, and the fourth regions sandwich the first region, the second regions, and the third regions. The first region includes a region overlapping with the first insulating layer and the conductive layer, the second regions and the third regions each include a region overlapping with the first insulating layer and not overlapping with the conductive layer, and the fourth regions overlap with neither the first insulating layer nor the conductive layer.

  • Patent number: 10861733
    Abstract: The yield of a manufacturing process of a display device is increased. The productivity of a display device is increased. A hydrogen-containing layer is formed over a substrate. Then, an oxygen-containing layer is formed over the hydrogen-containing layer. After that, a first layer is formed over the oxygen-containing layer with the use of a material containing a resin or a resin precursor. Subsequently, first heat treatment is performed on the first layer, so that a resin layer is formed. Next, a layer to be peeled is formed over the resin layer. The layer to be peeled and the substrate are separated from each other. The first heat treatment is performed in an oxygen-containing atmosphere.

  • Patent number: 10236408
    Abstract: The yield of a manufacturing process of a semiconductor device is increased. The productivity of a semiconductor device is increased. A first material layer is formed over a substrate, a second material layer is formed over the first material layer, and the first material layer and the second material layer are separated from each other, so that a semiconductor device is manufactured. In addition, a stack including the first material layer and the second material layer is preferably heated before the separation. The first material layer includes one or more of hydrogen, oxygen, and water. The first material layer includes a metal oxide, for example. The second material layer includes a resin (e.g., polyimide or acrylic). The first material layer and the second material layer are separated from each other by cutting a hydrogen bond.
