Patent ID: 11929412

Abstract:
A semiconductor device with favorable electrical characteristics is provided. A semiconductor device with stable electrical characteristics is provided.The semiconductor device includes a first insulating layer, a second insulating layer, a third insulating layer, a fourth insulating layer, a semiconductor layer, and a first conductive layer. The second insulating layer is positioned over the first insulating layer and the island-shaped semiconductor layer is positioned over the second insulating layer. The second insulating layer has an island shape having an end portion outside a region overlapping with the semiconductor layer. The fourth insulating layer covers the second insulating layer, the semiconductor layer, the third insulating layer, and the first conductive layer, is in contact with part of a top surface of the semiconductor layer, and is in contact with the first insulating layer outside the end portion of the second insulating layer. The semiconductor layer contains a metal oxide, the second insulating layer and the third insulating layer contain an oxide, the first insulating layer contains a metal oxide or a nitride, and the fourth insulating layer contains a metal nitride.
