    摘要: A logic circuit includes a thin film transistor having a channel formation region formed using an oxide semiconductor, and a capacitor having terminals one of which is brought into a floating state by turning off the thin film transistor. The oxide semiconductor has a hydrogen concentration of 5×1019 (atoms/cm3) or less and thus substantially serves as an insulator in a state where an electric field is not generated. Therefore, off-state current of a thin film transistor can be reduced, leading to suppressing the leakage of electric charge stored in a capacitor, through the thin film transistor. Accordingly, a malfunction of the logic circuit can be prevented. Further, the excessive amount of current which flows in the logic circuit can be reduced through the reduction of off-state current of the thin film transistor, resulting in low power consumption of the logic circuit.

    摘要: A semiconductor device is manufactured using a transistor in which an oxide semiconductor is included in a channel region and variation in electric characteristics due to a short-channel effect is less likely to be caused. The semiconductor device includes an oxide semiconductor film having a pair of oxynitride semiconductor regions including nitrogen and an oxide semiconductor region sandwiched between the pair of oxynitride semiconductor regions, a gate insulating film, and a gate electrode provided over the oxide semiconductor region with the gate insulating film positioned therebetween. Here, the pair of oxynitride semiconductor regions serves as a source region and a drain region of the transistor, and the oxide semiconductor region serves as the channel region of the transistor.

    摘要: Hydrogen concentration and oxygen vacancies in an oxide semiconductor film are reduced. Reliability of a semiconductor device which includes a transistor using an oxide semiconductor film is improved. One embodiment of the present invention is a semiconductor device which includes a base insulating film; an oxide semiconductor film formed over the base insulating film; a gate insulating film formed over the oxide semiconductor film; and a gate electrode overlapping with the oxide semiconductor film with the gate insulating film provided therebetween. The base insulating film shows a signal at a g value of 2.01 by electron spin resonance. The oxide semiconductor film does not show a signal at a g value of 1.93 by electron spin resonance.
