Patent ID: 11799032

Abstract:
A semiconductor device with favorable electrical characteristics is provided. A semiconductor device with stable electrical characteristics is provided.The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor layer, a first insulating layer, and a first conductive layer. The first insulating layer is provided over the semiconductor layer. The first conductive layer is provided over the first insulating layer. The semiconductor layer includes a first region that overlaps with the first conductive layer and the first insulating layer, a second region that does not overlap with the first conductive layer and overlaps with the first insulating layer, and a third region that overlaps with neither the first conductive layer nor the first insulating layer. The semiconductor layer contains a metal oxide. The second region and the third region contain a first element. The first element is one or more elements selected from boron, phosphorus, aluminum, and magnesium. The first element exists in a state of being bonded to oxygen.
