Patent ID: 7354801

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising: forming a peeling layer over a first substrate, with a top shape of the peeling layer including at least three sides; forming a base insulating layer over the peeling layer and the first substrate, the base insulating layer covering all of the at least three sides of the peeling layer; forming at least one thin film integrated circuit over the peeling layer with the base insulating layer interposed therebetween; forming a protective layer covering the thin film integrated circuit; exposing one of the sides of the peeling layer by removing the base insulating layer selectively, while leaving the other sides of the peeling layer covered by the base insulating layer; etching the peeling layer; and transferring the thin film integrated circuit to a second substrate, wherein the etching proceeds in one direction from the exposed side of peeling layer, and wherein an adhesive material is provided on the second substrate.
