It is an object of the present invention is to provide a technique for forming a dense insulating film of good quality that is applicable to a transistor made on a substrate weak against heat such as a glass and a semiconductor device that can realize high performance and high reliability using the technique. In the present invention a silicon oxide film is formed on a crystalline semiconductor film, which is formed on an insulating surface, by the sputtering method using silicon as a target by applying high-frequency power in an atmosphere containing oxygen or oxygen and a rare gas, a silicon nitride film is formed thereon by applying high-frequency power in an atmosphere containing nitrogen or nitrogen and a rare gas, and then, heat treatment of a stacked body of the crystalline semiconductor film, the silicon oxide film, and the silicon nitride film at a temperature higher than a temperature for forming the films is performed.
