Abstract
A crystalline oxide semiconductor film and a semiconductor device including the oxide semiconductor film are provided. One embodiment of the present invention is an oxide semiconductor film including a plurality of flat-plate particles each having a structure in which layers including a gallium atom, a zinc atom, and an oxygen atom are provided over and under a layer including an indium atom and an oxygen atom. In the semiconductor film, the plurality of flat-plate particles face in random directions, and a crystal boundary is not observed using a transmission electron microscope.
