摘要:
A semiconductor device having a structure which enables sufficient reduction in parasitic capacitance is provided. In addition, the operation speed of thin film transistors in a driver circuit is improved. In a bottom-gate thin film transistor in which an oxide insulating layer is in contact with a channel formation region in an oxide semiconductor layer, a source electrode layer and a drain electrode layer are formed in such a manner that they do not overlap with a gate electrode layer. Thus, the distance between the gate electrode layer and the source electrode layer and between the gate electrode layer and the drain electrode layer are increased; accordingly, parasitic capacitance can be reduced.

It is an object to provide a highly reliable semiconductor device which includes a thin film transistor having stable electric characteristics. It is another object to manufacture a highly reliable semiconductor device at lower cost with high productivity. In a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device which includes a thin film transistor where a semiconductor layer having a channel formation region, a source region, and a drain region are formed using an oxide semiconductor layer, heat treatment (heat treatment for dehydration or dehydrogenation) is performed so as to improve the purity of the oxide semiconductor layer and reduce impurities such as moisture. Moreover, the oxide semiconductor layer subjected to the heat treatment is slowly cooled under an oxygen atmosphere.
