Abstract
A transistor with superior electric characteristics is manufactured. An oxide insulating film is formed over a substrate, an oxide semiconductor film is formed over the oxide insulating film, heat treatment is then conducted at a temperature at which hydrogen contained in the oxide semiconductor film is desorbed and part of oxygen contained in the oxide insulating film is desorbed, then the heated oxide semiconductor film is etched into a predetermined shape to form an island-shaped oxide semiconductor film, a pair of electrodes is formed over the island-shaped oxide semiconductor film, a gate insulating film is formed over the pair of electrodes and the island-shaped oxide semiconductor film, and a gate electrode is formed over the gate insulating film.
