Abstract:
A semiconductor device using an oxide semiconductor is provided with stable electric characteristics to improve the reliability. In a manufacturing process of a transistor including an oxide semiconductor film, an oxide semiconductor film containing a crystal having a c-axis which is substantially perpendicular to a top surface thereof (also called a first crystalline oxide semiconductor film) is formed; oxygen is added to the oxide semiconductor film to amorphize at least part of the oxide semiconductor film, so that an amorphous oxide semiconductor film containing an excess of oxygen is formed; an aluminum oxide film is formed over the amorphous oxide semiconductor film; and heat treatment is performed thereon to crystallize at least part of the amorphous oxide semiconductor film, so that an oxide semiconductor film containing a crystal having a c-axis which is substantially perpendicular to a top surface thereof (also called a second crystalline oxide semiconductor film) is formed.

Claim (Index 3):
A semiconductor device comprising:\n an insulating layer; an oxide semiconductor film including a source region and a drain region over and in contact with the insulating layer; a gate insulating film over the oxide semiconductor film; and a gate electrode layer over the gate insulating film, wherein the source region and the drain region include impurities, wherein the oxide semiconductor film contains a crystal having a c-axis which is substantially perpendicular to a top surface of the oxide semiconductor film, wherein an average surface roughness of a top surface of the insulating layer is greater than or equal to 0.05 nm and less than 0.5 nm, and wherein the impurities are added into the source region and the drain region through the gate insulating film.
