It is an object to reduce defective conduction in a wiring board or a semiconductor device whose integration degree is increased. It is another object to manufacture a highly reliable wiring board or semiconductor device with high yield. In a wiring board or a semiconductor device having a multilayer wiring structure, a conductive layer having a curved surface is used in connection between conductive layers used for the wirings. The top of a conductive layer in a lower layer exposed by removal of an insulating layer therearound has a curved surface, so that coverage of the conductive layer in the lower layer with a conductive layer in an upper layer stacked thereover can be favorable. A conductive layer is etched using a resist mask having a curved surface, so that a conductive layer having a curved surface is formed.

Wiring board, semiconductor device, and manufacturing methods thereof

An object is to provide a semiconductor device having a novel structure in which a transistor including an oxide semiconductor and a transistor including a semiconductor material other than an oxide semiconductor are stacked. The semiconductor device includes a first transistor, an insulating layer over the first transistor, and a second transistor over the insulating layer. In the semiconductor device, the first transistor includes a first channel formation region, the second transistor includes a second channel formation region, the first channel formation region includes a semiconductor material different from a semiconductor material of the second channel formation region, and the insulating layer includes a surface whose root-mean-square surface roughness is less than or equal to 1 nm.
