METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE, AND METHOD OF SEPARATING SUBSTRATE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18586425 titled 'METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE, AND METHOD OF SEPARATING SUBSTRATE

In one embodiment, a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a first insulator or a first conductor layer on a first substrate, forming a porous layer on the first insulator or the first conductor layer, forming a first film including a first device above the porous layer, and forming a second film including a second device on a second substrate. The method further includes bonding the first substrate and the second substrate to sandwich the first insulator or the first conductor layer, the porous layer, the first film, and the second film. The method further includes separating the first substrate and the second substrate such that the first insulator or the first conductor layer and a first portion of the porous layer remain above the first substrate, and a second portion of the porous layer remains above the second substrate.
