Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an element transfer method which can exfoliate a substrate easily after the element is transferred from a substrate where elements are arranged to another substrate, is capable of reducing the substrate damages, and imprinting to add an element on the same substrate again after printing the element, and to provide a substrate for element transfer and a display device. SOLUTION: A plurality of elements arranged on a temporary holding substrate are buried in an adhesive layer formed on a transfer substrate and held. The elements are exfoliated from the substrate. The adhesive layer is selectively hardened, a cured wall is formed and the adhesive layer is divided into micro cells, thereby preventing the adhesive layer from moving by pressure. A transfer substrate side of the adhesive layer is hardened and a cured layer is formed, and the elements are fixed by the cured layer, thereby preventing the displacement of the elements in the adhesive layer. The adhesive layer is softened after the elements are buried in the adhesive layer, thereby reducing the step-difference in a boundary of the elements and the adhesive layer.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mold for forming a conductive layer and its manufacturing method for restricting the occurrence of a pollution in a production process of a flat panel display, etc. and of materializing a wiring with the high accuracy and reliability at low costs at the small number of steps. SOLUTION: A recessed original form 9 corresponding to a given pattern is formed in a photoresist layer 8 arranged on a separating layer 7 of a substrate 6, and after a mold material layer 2A is filled in this original form 9, the back of the mold material layer 2A is flattened. After this flattened plane is joined to a backing 5, the separating layer 7 and the photoresist layer 8 are removed, thereby constituting a stamper 1 in which a projected molding part 2 is integrated with the backing 5 with a good mechanical strength. Thus, the projected molding part with the high accuracy is formed and a stamping is performed by using this stamper 1, so that a wiring pattern or the like can easily be formed. Therefore, a wiring step is simplified and it becomes possible to suppress the occurrence of the pollution due to waste chemical liquids, and reduce costs. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an ohmic contact by speedily alloying only a necessary part without influencing characteristics of a semiconductor element. SOLUTION: A metal layer is formed on a semiconductor transferred to a material with low heat conductivity and interface between the semiconductor and the metal layer is alloyed by irradiation with a laser beam of wavelength which at least one of the semiconductor and metal layer absorbs. The irradiated energy of the laser light is set to 20 to 100 mJ/cm 2 . A material of low heat conductivity is, for example, resin or amorphous silicon. The whole semiconductor is not heated in the alloying by the laser irradiation and only a necessary part is locally heated. Further, the semiconductor is transferred into the material with low heat conductivity, e.g. the resin and then the laser irradiation is carried out to enable alloying at a low temperature, so that the energy of the irradiating laser light can be set low.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppers the feeling of incompatibility in operating a button of an input device in a device for which a display device and the input device are formed together. SOLUTION: In this display device, a plurality of light emitting elements are arrayed in a matrix shape on a substrate and sensors are respectively disposed in a space among the plurality of light emitting elements. Since the sensors are respectively disposed in the space among the light emitting elements arrayed in the matrix shape, the positions of the respective sensors can be within the same plane as the light emitting element group and the feeling of incompatibility in a button operation is suppressed.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of manufacturing a semiconductor element and the semiconductor element whereby an adhesive material layer remaining around a growth substrate and a semiconductor layer can be efficiently removed with ease and the element can be formed with low production cost and high yield when the semiconductor layer is transferred, by ablation using irradiation with a laser beam, to the substrate having the adhesive material layer formed thereon. SOLUTION: The adhesive material layer remaining around the growth substrate and the semiconductor layer can be positively removed with ease in an efficient manner by emitting the laser beam onto the surplus adhesive material layer remaining around the growth substrate and the semiconductor layer, performing plasma ashing thereon, or combining the laser beam irradiation and ashing. The semiconductor layer can be entirely used as an element without removing the surplus adhesive material layer along the surrounding part of the semiconductor layer. Thus, it is possible to form the semiconductor element with high yield without damaging the crystals of the semiconductor layers. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device by which favorable electrodes can be formed by completely removing the gallium precipitated on the rear face of the grown semiconductor layer after separating the grown semiconductor layer by laser ablation and the semiconductor layer can be completely separated for each device, and to provide a semiconductor device. SOLUTION: After a grown semiconductor layer has transferred to a substrate for temporary retention by laser ablation by exposing the rear face of a substrate to the laser beam, isotropic etching is applied to the rear face of the grown semiconductor layer by using a mixture of solution (royal water) of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid. In this way, the gallium precipitated on the rear face of the grown semiconductor layer and layers exhibiting low conductivity formed by anisotropic etching by RIE can be completely removed. Accordingly, a surface most suitable for forming electrodes can be properly exposed from the rear face of the semiconductor device and proper electrodes of low-resistance can be formed on the rear face of the device. Furthermore, the grown semiconductor layer can be completely separated for each device with uniform etched profile. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To repair easily a defective element without accompanying minute and difficult work. SOLUTION: After elements are arranged on a substrate and the elements are electrically connected to wirings which are connected to a driving circuit and they are mounted on the substrate, a defective element is detected and a repair element is mounted at a position corresponding to the defective element. At this time, after the wiring connected to the defective element is cut, the repair element is electrically connected to the wiring at a position nearer the side of the driving circuit than the cut position of the pertinent wiring. Since the repairing of the defective element is performed by a simple process such as to merely place and fix the repair element without taking away the defective element, it is unnecessary to perform difficult work, for example, such as the removing of the pre-mounted element, the selective removal and restoration of an insulation layer.
