Abstract: A highly reliable semiconductor device which includes an oxide semiconductor is provided. Alternatively, a transistor having normally-off characteristics which includes an oxide semiconductor is provided. The transistor includes a first conductor, a first insulator, a second insulator, a third insulator, a first oxide, an oxide semiconductor, a second conductor, a second oxide, a fourth insulator, a third conductor, a fourth conductor, a fifth insulator, and a sixth insulator. The second conductor is separated from the sixth insulator by the second oxide. The third conductor and the fourth conductor are separated from the sixth insulator by the fifth insulator. The second oxide has a function of suppressing permeation of oxygen as long as oxygen contained in the sixth insulator is sufficiently supplied to the oxide semiconductor through the second oxide. The fifth insulator has a barrier property against oxygen.

Abstract: To improve the electrical characteristics of a semiconductor device including an oxide semiconductor, and to provide a highly reliable semiconductor device with a small variation in electrical characteristics. The semiconductor device includes a first insulating film, a first barrier film over the first insulating film, a second insulating film over the first barrier film, and a first transistor including a first oxide semiconductor film over the second insulating film. The amount of hydrogen molecules released from the first insulating film at a given temperature higher than or equal to 400° C., which is measured by thermal desorption spectroscopy, is less than or equal to 130% of the amount of released hydrogen molecules at 300° C. The second insulating film includes a region containing oxygen at a higher proportion than oxygen in the stoichiometric composition.
