SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE

摘要

It is an object of an embodiment of the present invention to reduce leakage current between a source and a drain in a transistor including an oxide semiconductor. As a first gate film in contact with a gate insulating film, a compound conductor which includes indium and nitrogen and whose band gap is less than 2.8 eV is used. Since this compound conductor has a work function of greater than or equal to 5 eV, preferably greater than or equal to 5.5 eV, the electron concentration in an oxide semiconductor film can be maintained extremely low. As a result, the leakage current between the source and the drain is reduced.
