It is an object to provide a semiconductor device including a thin film transistor with favorable electric properties and high reliability, and a method for manufacturing the semiconductor device with high productivity. In an inverted staggered (bottom gate) thin film transistor, an oxide semiconductor film containing In, Ga, and Zn is used as a semiconductor layer, and a buffer layer formed using a metal oxide layer is provided between the semiconductor layer and a source and drain electrode layers. The metal oxide layer is intentionally provided as the buffer layer between the semiconductor layer and the source and drain electrode layers, whereby ohmic contact is obtained.

When a positive bias voltage is applied to a gate electrode of a transistor including an oxide semiconductor for longer than or equal to 10 msec, electric characteristics of the transistor, which have varied due to the light irradiation, can be brought to the state which is substantially the same as the state before the light irradiation. Note that a positive bias voltage is applied to the gate electrode of the transistor at an appropriate timing with reference to the amount of incident light received by the transistor. Accordingly, a display device in which a reduction in display quality is suppressed even when light irradiation is performed can be realized.

An object is to provide a semiconductor device including a microcrystalline semiconductor film with favorable quality and a method for manufacturing the semiconductor device. In a thin film transistor formed using a microcrystalline semiconductor film, yttria-stabilized zirconia having a fluorite structure is formed in the uppermost layer of a gate insulating film in order to improve quality of a microcrystalline semiconductor film to be formed in the initial stage of deposition. The microcrystalline semiconductor film is deposited on the yttria-stabilized zirconia, so that the microcrystalline semiconductor film around an interface with a base particularly has favorable crystallinity while by crystallinity of the base.

An object is to provide a method for manufacturing a highly reliable semiconductor device including thin film transistors which have stable electric characteristics and are formed using an oxide semiconductor. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes the steps of: forming an oxide semiconductor film over a gate electrode with a gate insulating film interposed between the oxide semiconductor film and the gate electrode, over an insulating surface; forming a first conductive film including at least one of titanium, molybdenum, and tungsten, over the oxide semiconductor film; forming a second conductive film including a metal having lower electronegativity than hydrogen, over the first conductive film; forming a source electrode and a drain electrode by etching of the first conductive film and the second conductive film; and forming an insulating film in contact with the oxide semiconductor film, over the oxide semiconductor film, the source electrode, and the drain electrode.
摘要:
The drain voltage of a transistor is determined depending on the driving voltage of an element connected to the transistor. With downsizing of a transistor, intensity of the electric field concentrated in the drain region is increased, and hot carriers are easily generated. An object is to provide a transistor in which the electric field hardly concentrates in the drain region. Another object is to provide a display device including such a transistor. End portions of first and second wiring layers having high electrical conductivity do not overlap with a gate electrode layer, whereby concentration of an electric field in the vicinity of a first electrode layer and a second electrode layer is reduced; thus, generation of hot carriers is suppressed. In addition, one of the first and second electrode layers having higher resistivity than the first and second wiring layers is used as a drain electrode layer.

An object is to manufacture a semiconductor device including an oxide semiconductor film, which has stable electric characteristics and high reliability. A crystalline oxide semiconductor film is formed, without performing a plurality of steps, as follows: by utilizing a difference in atomic weight of plural kinds of atoms included in an oxide semiconductor target, zinc with low atomic weight is preferentially deposited on an oxide insulating film to form a seed crystal including zinc; and tin, indium, or the like with high atomic weight is deposited on the seed crystal while causing crystal growth. Further, a crystalline oxide semiconductor film is formed by causing crystal growth using a seed crystal with a hexagonal crystal structure including zinc as a nucleus, whereby a single crystal oxide semiconductor film or a substantially single crystal oxide semiconductor film is formed.
摘要:
In an active matrix display device, electric characteristics of thin film transistors included in a circuit are important, and performance of the display device depends on the electric characteristics. Thus, by using an oxide semiconductor film including In, Ga, and Zn for an inverted staggered thin film transistor, variation in electric characteristics of the thin film transistor can be reduced. Three layers of a gate insulating film, an oxide semiconductor layer and a channel protective layer are successively formed by a sputtering method without being exposed to air. Further, in the oxide semiconductor layer, the thickness of a region overlapping with the channel protective film is larger than that of a region in contact with a conductive film.
