Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, the method comprising the steps of: forming a gate electrode over a substrate; forming a gate insulating film over the gate electrode; forming a source electrode and a drain electrode over the gate insulating film; and forming an oxide semiconductor film over the gate insulating film, the source electrode and the drain electrode by chemical vapor deposition; and forming a highly purified oxide semiconductor by irradiating the oxide semiconductor film with a microwave having a frequency greater than or equal to 300 MHz and less than or equal to 3 THz under an inert gas atmosphere or reduced pressure, or in air where a dew point under atmospheric pressure is −60° C. or lower to give energy to a polar molecule included in the oxide semiconductor film, so that the polar molecule is evaporated, wherein the highly purified oxide semiconductor is overlapped with the gate electrode, wherein the highly purified oxide semiconductor is partly overlapped with the source electrode and the drain electrode, and wherein the highly purified oxide semiconductor is an intrinsic semiconductor or a substantially intrinsic semiconductor.
