To provide a semiconductor substrate including a crystalline semiconductor layer which is suitable for practical use, even if a material different from that of the semiconductor layer is used for a supporting substrate, and a semiconductor device using the semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor substrate includes a bonding layer which forms a bonding plane, a barrier layer formed of an insulating material containing nitrogen, a relief layer which is formed of an insulating material that includes nitrogen at less than 20 at. % and hydrogen at 1 at. % to 20 at. %, and an insulating layer containing a halogen, between a supporting substrate and a single-crystal semiconductor layer. The semiconductor device includes the above-described structure at least partially, and a gate insulating layer formed by a microwave plasma CVD method using SiH4 and N2O as source gases is in contact with the single-crystal semiconductor layer.

An object is to provide a semiconductor device having good electrical characteristics. A gate insulating layer having a hydrogen concentration less than 6×1020 atoms/cm3 and a fluorine concentration greater than or equal to 1×1020 atoms/cm3 is used as a gate insulating layer in contact with an oxide semiconductor layer forming a channel region, so that the amount of hydrogen released from the gate insulating layer can be reduced and diffusion of hydrogen into the oxide semiconductor layer can be prevented. Further, hydrogen present in the oxide semiconductor layer can be eliminated with the use of fluorine; thus, the hydrogen content in the oxide semiconductor layer can be reduced. Consequently, the semiconductor device having good electrical characteristics can be provided.

The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a highly reliable display device at a low cost with high yield. According to the present invention, a step due to an opening in a contact is covered with an insulating layer to reduce the step, and is processed into a gentle shape. A wiring or the like is formed to be in contact with the insulating layer and thus the coverage of the wiring or the like is enhanced. In addition, deterioration of a light-emitting element due to contaminants such as water can be prevented by sealing a layer including an organic material that has water permeability in a display device with a sealing material. Since the sealing material is formed in a portion of a driver circuit region in the display device, the frame margin of the display device can be narrowed.

By an evacuation unit including first and second turbo molecular pumps connected in series, the ultimate pressure in a reaction chamber is reduced to ultra-high vacuum. By a knife-edge-type metal-seal flange, the amount of leakage in the reaction chamber is reduced. A microcrystalline semiconductor film and an amorphous semiconductor film are stacked in the same reaction chamber where the pressure is reduced to ultra-high vacuum. By forming the amorphous semiconductor film covering the surface of the microcrystalline semiconductor film, oxidation of the microcrystalline semiconductor film is prevented.

In the case where a material containing an alkaline-earth metal in a cathode, is used, there is a fear of the diffusion of an impurity ion (such as alkaline-earth metal ion) from the EL element to the TFT being generated and causing the variation of characteristics of the TFT. Therefore, as the insulating film provided between TFT and EL element, a film containing a material for not only blocking the diffusion of an impurity ion such as an alkaline-earth metal ion but also aggressively absorbing an impurity ion such as an alkaline-earth metal ion is used.

One object is to provide a semiconductor device including an oxide semiconductor, which has stable electric characteristics and high reliability. Another object is to manufacture a highly reliable semiconductor device in a high yield. In a top-gate staggered transistor including an oxide semiconductor film, as a first gate insulating film in contact with the oxide semiconductor film, a silicon oxide film is formed by a plasma CVD method with use of a deposition gas containing silicon fluoride and oxygen; and as a second gate insulating film stacked over the first gate insulating film, a silicon oxide film is formed by a plasma CVD method with use of a deposition gas containing silicon hydride and oxygen.

It is an object to drive a semiconductor device at high speed or to improve the reliability of the semiconductor device. In a method for manufacturing the semiconductor device, in which a gate electrode is formed over a substrate with an insulating property, a gate insulating film is formed over the gate electrode, and an oxide semiconductor film is formed over the gate insulating film, the gate insulating film is formed by deposition treatment using high-density plasma. Accordingly, dangling bonds in the gate insulating film are reduced and the quality of the interface between the gate insulating film and the oxide semiconductor is improved.

An object is to reduce the number of high temperature (equal to or greater than 600° C.) heat treatment process steps and achieve lower temperature (equal to or less than 600° C.) processes, and to simplify the process steps and increase throughput in a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device. With the present invention, a barrier layer, a second semiconductor film, and a third semiconductor film containing a noble (rare) gas element are formed on a first semiconductor film having a crystalline structure. Gettering is performed and a metallic element contained in the first semiconductor film passes through the barrier layer and the second semiconductor film by a heat treatment process, and moves to the third semiconductor film. The second semiconductor film and the third semiconductor film are then removed, with the barrier layer used as an etching stopper.
