An object is to eliminate electric discharge due to static electricity generated by peeling when an element formation layer including a semiconductor element is peeled from a substrate used for manufacturing the semiconductor element. A substrate over which an element formation layer and a peeling layer are formed and a film are made to go through a gap between pressurization rollers. The film is attached to the element formation layer between the pressurization rollers. The film is bent along a curved surface of the pressurization roller on a side of the pressurization rollers, where the film is collected, and accordingly, peeling is generated between the element formation layer and the peeling layer and the element formation layer is transferred to the film. Liquid such as pure water is sequentially supplied by a nozzle to a gap between the element formation layer and the peeling layer, which is generated by peeling, so that electric charge generated on surfaces of the element formation layer and the peeling layer is diffused by the liquid.
