Abstract

A semiconductor device with little variation in transistor characteristics is provided. First to third oxide films, a first conductive film, a first insulating film, and a second conductive film are sequentially formed. Shaping them into island-like shapes. An insulator is formed over the island-like shapes and an opening is formed in the insulator and a part of the island-like shapes. Another oxide film, a gate insulating film, and a gate electrode are formed in the opening in this order to form the transistor.
