Abstract
To reduce defects in an oxide semiconductor film in a semiconductor device. To improve electrical characteristics of and reliability in the semiconductor device including an oxide semiconductor film. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes the steps of forming a gate electrode and a gate insulating film over a substrate, forming an oxide semiconductor film over the gate insulating film, forming a pair of electrodes over the oxide semiconductor film, forming a first oxide insulating film over the oxide semiconductor film and the pair of electrodes by a plasma CVD method in which a film formation temperature is 280° C. or higher and 400° C. or lower, forming a second oxide insulating film over the first oxide insulating film, and performing heat treatment at a temperature of 150° C. to 400° C. inclusive, preferably 300° C. to 400° C. inclusive, further preferably 320° C. to 370° C. inclusive.
