Abstract

A semiconductor device in which parasitic capacitance is reduced is provided. A first insulating layer is deposited over a substrate. A first oxide insulating layer and an oxide semiconductor layer are deposited over the first insulating layer. A second oxide insulating layer is deposited over the oxide semiconductor layer and the first insulating layer. A second insulating layer and a first conductive layer are deposited over the second oxide insulating layer. A gate electrode layer, a gate insulating layer, and a third oxide insulating layer are formed by etching. A sidewall insulating layer including a region in contact with a side surface of the gate electrode layer is formed. A second conductive layer is deposited over the gate electrode layer, the sidewall insulating layer, the oxide semiconductor layer, and the first insulating layer. A third conductive layer is deposited over the second conductive layer. A low-resistance region is formed in the oxide semiconductor layer by performing heat treatment. An element contained in the second conductive layer moves from the second conductive layer to the oxide semiconductor layer side by performing the heat treatment. An element contained in the oxide semiconductor layer moves from the oxide semiconductor layer to the third conductive layer side by performing the heat treatment.
