Patent ID: 7611965

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising: forming a separation layer over a substrate; forming an element-forming layer by the steps comprising: forming a thin film transistor over the separation layer; forming an inorganic insulating layer over a gate electrode of the thin film transistor; forming a wire of the thin film transistor over the inorganic insulating layer; forming a first electrode layer to be connected to the wire of the thin film transistor over the inorganic insulating layer; forming an organic insulating layer covering an end portion of the first electrode layer; forming a layer containing an organic compound over a part of the organic insulating layer and an exposed portion of the first electrode layer; and forming a second electrode layer which is provided over the layer containing an organic compound and is in contact with the layer containing an organic compound and the inorganic insulating layer; and attaching a first flexible substrate over the second electrode layer; and separating the substrate and the element-forming layer from each other at the separation layer so that the element-forming layer is supported by the first flexible substrate.
