    Abstract: A semiconductor device with favorable electrical characteristics is provided. A highly reliable semiconductor device is provided. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor layer, a first insulating layer, a second insulating layer, a metal oxide layer, and a conductive layer; the first insulating layer, the metal oxide layer, and the conductive layer are stacked in this order over the semiconductor layer; an end portion of the first insulating layer is located inward from an end portion of the semiconductor layer; an end portion of the metal oxide layer is located inward from the end portion of the first insulating layer; and an end portion of the conductive layer is located inward from the end portion of the metal oxide layer. The second insulating layer is preferably provided to cover the semiconductor layer, the first insulating layer, the metal oxide layer, and the conductive layer. It is preferable that the semiconductor layer include a first region, a pair of second regions, and a pair of third regions; the first region overlap with the first insulating layer and the metal oxide layer; the second regions between which the first region is sandwiched overlap with the first insulating layer and not overlap with the metal oxide layer; the third regions between which the first region and the pair of second regions are sandwiched not overlap with the first insulating layer; and the third regions be in contact with the second insulating layer.

    Abstract: A transistor in which shape defects are unlikely to occur is provided. A transistor with favorable electrical characteristics is provided. A semiconductor device with favorable electrical characteristics is provided. The semiconductor device includes a transistor. The transistor includes a semiconductor layer, a first insulating layer, a metal oxide layer, a functional layer, and a conductive layer. The first insulating layer is positioned over the semiconductor layer. The metal oxide layer is positioned over the first insulating layer. The functional layer is positioned over the metal oxide layer. The conductive layer is positioned over the functional layer. The semiconductor layer, the first insulating layer, the metal oxide layer, the functional layer, and the conductive layer have regions overlapping with each other. In the channel length direction of the transistor, end portions of the first insulating layer, the metal oxide layer, the functional layer, and the conductive layer are positioned inward from an end portion of the semiconductor layer. An etching rate of the functional layer with an etchant containing one or more of phosphoric acid, acetic acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, and sulfuric acid is lower than an etching rate of the conductive layer.
