Abstract
A semiconductor device which includes an oxide semiconductor and has favorable electrical characteristics is provided. In the semiconductor device, an oxide semiconductor film and an insulating film are formed over a substrate. Side surfaces of the oxide semiconductor film are in contact with the insulating film. The oxide semiconductor film includes a channel formation region and regions containing a dopant between which the channel formation region is sandwiched. A gate insulating film is formed on and in contact with the oxide semiconductor film. A gate electrode with sidewall insulating films is formed over the gate insulating film. A source electrode and a drain electrode are formed in contact with the oxide semiconductor film and the insulating film.
