    Abstract: To provide a semiconductor device that includes an oxide semiconductor and is miniaturized while keeping good electrical properties. In the semiconductor device, an oxide semiconductor layer filling a groove is surrounded by insulating layers including an aluminum oxide film containing excess oxygen. Excess oxygen contained in the aluminum oxide film is supplied to the oxide semiconductor layer, in which a channel is formed, by heat treatment in a manufacturing process of the semiconductor device. Moreover, the aluminum oxide film forms a barrier against oxygen and hydrogen, which inhibits the removal of oxygen from the oxide semiconductor layer surrounded by the insulating layers including an aluminum oxide film and the entry of impurities such as hydrogen in the oxide semiconductor layer. Thus, a highly purified intrinsic oxide semiconductor layer can be obtained. The threshold voltage is controlled effectively by gate electrode layers formed over and under the oxide semiconductor layer.

Excess oxygen in the aluminum oxide film is supplied to the oxide semiconductor layer including a channel by heat treatment in a manufacturing process of the semiconductor device. Furthermore, the aluminum oxide film forms a barrier against oxygen and hydrogen. It is thus possible to suppress the removal of oxygen from the oxide semiconductor layer surrounded by the insulating layer including an aluminum oxide film, and the entry of impurities such as hydrogen into the oxide semiconductor layer; as a result, the oxide semiconductor layer can be made highly intrinsic. In addition, gate electrode layers over and under the oxide semiconductor layer control the threshold voltage effectively.

Before formation of the gate insulating layer, cleaning treatment is performed on the oxide semiconductor layer.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a semiconductor device including two oxide semiconductor layers, where one of the oxide semiconductor layers has an n-doped region while the other of the oxide semiconductor layers is substantially i-type. The semiconductor device includes the two oxide semiconductor layers sandwiched between a pair of oxide layers which have a common element included in any of the two oxide semiconductor layers. A double-well structure is formed in a region including the two oxide semiconductor layers and the pair of oxide layers, leading to the formation of a channel formation region in the n-doped region. This structure allows the channel formation region to be surrounded by an i-type oxide semiconductor, which contributes to the production of a semiconductor device that is capable of feeding enormous current.
