    摘要: It is an object to provide a semiconductor device including an oxide semiconductor, in which miniaturization of a transistor is achieved and the concentration of an electric field is relieved. The width of a gate electrode is reduced and a space between a source electrode layer and a drain electrode layer is shortened. By adding a rare gas in a self-alignment manner with the use of a gate electrode as a mask, a low-resistance region in contact with a channel formation region can be provided in an oxide semiconductor layer. Accordingly, even when the width of the gate electrode, that is, the line width of a gate wiring is small, the low-resistance region can be provided with high positional accuracy, so that miniaturization of a transistor can be realized.

    摘要: 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.

The source and drain electrode layers have a stacked-layer structure of two or more layers in which a layer in contact with the oxide semiconductor layer is formed using an oxide of a metal whose work function is lower than the work function of the oxide semiconductor layer or an oxide of an alloy containing such a metal. Layers other than the layer in contact with the oxide semiconductor layer of the source and drain electrode layers are formed using an element selected from Al, Cr, Cu, Ta, Ti, Mo, or W, an alloy containing any of these elements as a component, an alloy containing any of these elements in combination, or the like.
