Patent ID: 7871834

Claim:
A method fabricating a semiconductor apparatus, comprising the steps of: providing an SOI substrate that includes a silicon substrate, a silicon film, and a buried SiO 2 layer that is disposed between the silicon substrate and the silicon film; fabricating a row of driver circuits on the silicon film, the row of driver circuits having a predetermined length; detaching the silicon film from the silicon substrate by etching the SiO 2 layer from between the silicon substrate and the silicon film after the row of driver circuits has been fabricated on the silicon film; and removing the silicon film, including the row of driver circuits, from the silicon substrate; mounting the silicon film, including the row of driver circuits, on another substrate, the another substrate being made of a material consisting of glass, resin, and ceramic; mounting a row of LED units on the another substrate adjacent the row of driver circuits and substantially parallel to the row of driver circuits, each LED unit having a plurality of LEDs, each LED unit having a length that is substantially shorter than the length of the row of driver elements; and electrically connecting each LED to a respective one of the driver elements.
