Abstract

The semiconductor device includes a first insulator over a substrate, a first oxide semiconductor over the first insulator, a second oxide semiconductor over the first oxide semiconductor, a first conductor and a second conductor in contact with the second oxide semiconductor, a third oxide semiconductor on the second oxide semiconductor and the first and second conductors, a second insulator over the third oxide semiconductor, and a third conductor over the second insulator. At least one of the first oxide semiconductor, the second oxide semiconductor, and the third oxide semiconductor has a crystallinity peak that corresponds to a (hkl) plane (h=0, k=0, l is a natural number) observed by X-ray diffraction using a Cu K-alpha radiation as a radiation source. The peak appears at a diffraction angle 2 theta greater than or equal to 31.3 degrees and less than 33.5 degrees.
