Patent attributes
A normally-off transistor having an oxide semiconductor layer in a channel formation layer is provided. The transistor comprises: a first oxide semiconductor layer functioning as a channel formation region; a source electrode layer and a drain electrode layer which overlap with the first oxide semiconductor layer; a gate insulating layer which is provided over and in contact with the first oxide semiconductor layer, the source electrode layer, and the drain electrode layer; a second oxide semiconductor layer which is provided over and in contact with the gate insulating layer and overlaps with the first oxide semiconductor layer; and a gate electrode layer provided over the second oxide semiconductor layer. A manufacturing method thereof is also disclosed.
