SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE

摘要

To suppress a change in electrical characteristics and to improve reliability in a semiconductor device using a transistor including an oxide semiconductor. The semiconductor device includes a gate electrode over an insulating surface, an oxide semiconductor film overlapping with the gate electrode, a gate insulating film which is between the gate electrode and the oxide semiconductor film and is in contact with a surface of the oxide semiconductor film, a protective film in contact with an opposite surface of the surface of the oxide semiconductor film, and a pair of electrodes in contact with the oxide semiconductor film. In the gate insulating film or the protective film, the amount of gas having a mass-to-charge ratio m/z of 17 released by heat treatment is greater than the amount of nitrogen oxide released by heat treatment.
