Abstract
Disclosed is a semiconductor device using an oxide semiconductor, with stable electric characteristics and high reliability. In a process for manufacturing a bottom-gate transistor including an oxide semiconductor film, dehydration or dehydrogenation is performed by heat treatment and oxygen doping treatment is performed. The transistor including a gate insulating film subjected to the oxygen doping treatment and the oxide semiconductor film subjected to the dehydration or dehydrogenation by the heat treatment is a transistor having high reliability in which the amount of change in threshold voltage of the transistor by the bias-temperature stress (BT) test can be reduced.
