Thin film circuit device, manufacturing method thereof, electro-optical apparatus, and electronic system

Abstract

To provide a thin film circuit device in which a three-dimensional circuit structure is realized, a thin film circuit device is formed of a first thin film circuit layer and a second thin film circuit layer laminated to each other. The first thin film circuit layer contains a first thin film circuit provided between an underlayer and a protective layer and a lower connection electrode connected to the first thin film circuit and exposed at a part of the bottom surface of the underlayer. The second thin film circuit layer contains a second thin film circuit provided between an underlayer and a protective layer, an upper connection electrode connected to the second thin film circuit and exposed at a part of the top surface of the protective layer, and a lower connection electrode connected to the second thin film circuit and exposed at a part of the bottom surface of the underlayer. The first and the second thin film circuits are bonded to each other so that the lower connection electrode of the first thin film circuit layer is electrically connected to the upper electrode of the second thin film circuit layer.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of Invention [0002] The present invention relates to thin film circuit devices having a three-dimensional thin film circuit and to methods to manufacture a thin film circuit device having a three-dimensional circuit structure. [0003] 2. Description of Related Art [0004] In semiconductor devices and the like, since high temperature processes and the like are performed when necessary layers and regions are formed on a substrate to form a laminate, selection of members to form substrates and laminates may be restricted in some cases. For example, resin films, plastic substrates, and the like are not suitable in a high temperature process. [0005] Hence, for example, according to Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2002-217391, a peeling and transferring technique has been proposed in which a thin film circuit is formed above a heat resistant first substrate with an isolation layer provided therebetween. A non-heat resistant ...

Benefits of technology

[0020] The lower connection electrode may be formed approximately flush with the underlayer. Hence, the bottom surface of the thin film circuit layer is planarized, and as a result, the lamination can be easily performed.
