Patent attributes
Oxygen vacancies in an oxide semiconductor film and the vicinity of the oxide semiconductor film are reduced and electric characteristics of a transistor including the oxide semiconductor film are improved. Further, a highly reliable semiconductor device including the transistor including the oxide semiconductor film is provided. In the transistor including the oxide semiconductor film, at least one insulating film in contact with the oxide semiconductor film contains excess oxygen. By the excess oxygen included in the insulating film in contact with the oxide semiconductor film, oxygen vacancies in the oxide semiconductor film and the vicinity of the oxide semiconductor film can be reduced. Note that the insulating film including the excess oxygen has a profile of the excess oxygen concentration having two or more local maximum values in the depth direction.
