摘要： As an electrode for a power storage device, an electrode including a current collector, a first active material layer over the current collector, and a second active material layer that is over the first active material layer and includes a particle containing niobium oxide and a granular active material is used, whereby the charge-discharge cycle characteristics and rate characteristics of the power storage device can be improved. Moreover, contact between the granular active material and the particle containing niobium oxide makes the granular active material physically fixed; accordingly, deterioration due to expansion and contraction of the active material which occur along with charge and discharge of the power storage device, such as powdering of the active material or its separation from the current collector, can be suppressed.

摘要： It is an object to provide a semiconductor device including an oxide semiconductor, which has stable electric characteristics and high reliability. An oxide semiconductor film serving as a channel formation region of a transistor is formed by a sputtering method at a temperature higher than 200° C., so that the number of water molecules eliminated from the oxide semiconductor film can be 0.5/nm3 or less according to thermal desorption spectroscopy. A substance including a hydrogen atom such as hydrogen, water, a hydroxyl group, or hydride which causes variation in the electric characteristics of a transistor including an oxide semiconductor is prevented from entering the oxide semiconductor film, whereby the oxide semiconductor film can be highly purified and made to be an electrically i-type (intrinsic) semiconductor.

摘要： An object is to provide a memory device including a memory element that can be operated without problems by a thin film transistor with a low off-state current. Provided is a memory device in which a memory element including at least one thin film transistor that includes an oxide semiconductor layer is arranged as a matrix. The thin film transistor including an oxide semiconductor layer has a high field effect mobility and low off-state current, and thus can be operated favorably without problems. In addition, the power consumption can be reduced. Such a memory device is particularly effective in the case where the thin film transistor including an oxide semiconductor layer is provided in a pixel of a display device because the memory device and the pixel can be formed over one substrate.

摘要： An insulating layer containing a silicon peroxide radical is used as an insulating layer in contact with an oxide semiconductor layer for forming a channel. Oxygen is released from the insulating layer, whereby oxygen deficiency in the oxide semiconductor layer and an interface state between the insulating layer and the oxide semiconductor layer can be reduced. Accordingly, a semiconductor device where reliability is high and variation in electric characteristics is small can be manufactured.

摘要： An object is to reduce leakage current and parasitic capacitance of a transistor used for an LSI, a CPU, or a memory. A semiconductor integrated circuit included in an LSI, a CPU, or a memory is manufactured using the transistor which is formed using an oxide semiconductor which is an intrinsic or substantially intrinsic semiconductor obtained by removal of impurities which serve as electron donors (donors) from the oxide semiconductor and has larger energy gap than a silicon semiconductor, and is formed over a semiconductor substrate. With the transistor which is formed over the semiconductor substrate and includes the highly purified oxide semiconductor layer with sufficiently reduced hydrogen concentration, a semiconductor device whose power consumption due to leakage current is low can be realized.
