Abstract: Disclosed is a method to manufacture a thin film transistor having an oxide semiconductor as a channel formation region. The method includes; forming an oxide semiconductor layer over a gate insulating layer; forming a source and drain electrode layers over and in contact with the oxide semiconductor layer so that at least portion of the oxide semiconductor layer is exposed; and forming an oxide insulating film over and in contact with the oxide semiconductor layer. The exposed portion of the oxide semiconductor may be exposed to a gas containing oxygen in the presence of plasma before the formation of the oxide insulating film. The method allows oxygen to be diffused into the oxide semiconductor layer, which contributes to the excellent characteristics of the thin film transistor.

Abstract: An object is to provide a semiconductor device provided with a thin film transistor having excellent electric characteristics using an oxide semiconductor layer. An In—Sn—O-based oxide semiconductor layer including SiOX is used for a channel formation region. In order to reduce contact resistance between the In—Sn—O-based oxide semiconductor layer including SiOX and a wiring layer formed from a metal material having low electric resistance, a source region or drain region is formed between a source electrode layer or drain electrode layer and the In—Sn—O-based oxide semiconductor layer including SiOX. The source region or drain region and a pixel region are formed using an In—Sn—O-based oxide semiconductor layer which does not include SiOX.

Abstract: It is an object to manufacture a highly reliable semiconductor device including a thin film transistor whose electric characteristics are stable. An insulating layer which covers an oxide semiconductor layer of the thin film transistor contains a boron element or an aluminum element. The insulating layer containing a boron element or an aluminum element is formed by a sputtering method using a silicon target or a silicon oxide target containing a boron element or an aluminum element. Alternatively, an insulating layer containing an antimony (Sb) element or a phosphorus (P) element instead of a boron element covers the oxide semiconductor layer of the thin film transistor.
