Patent ID: 8343848

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising the step of bonding semiconductor thin film pieces which have been separated from a first substrate to a plurality of bonding areas arranged at an equal pitch P 2 on a surface of a second substrate, the bonding areas being higher than other areas on the second substrate, each bonding area being flat and having a width wider than or equal to a width of each semiconductor thin film piece, comprising the steps of: separating a plurality of semiconductor thin film pieces which have been epitaxially grown on the first substrate from the first substrate so that the semiconductor thin film pieces have individual supports, and bonding the individual supports to a third substrate at a predetermined pitch P 1 , the pitch P 2 satisfying a relationship P 2 =A×P 1 , where A is an integer greater than or equal to 1; facing a surface of the third substrate with a surface of the second substrate while aligning the semiconductor thin film pieces bonded to the third substrate with the bonding areas on the surface of the second substrate corresponding to the predetermined semiconductor thin film pieces, and bonding the semiconductor thin film pieces at every said integer simultaneously to the second substrate, the second substrate having integrated circuits; and simultaneously separating selected plural semiconductor thin film pieces, which are bonded to the second substrate, from the third substrate.
