Abstract
A miniaturized transistor with reduced parasitic capacitance and highly stable electrical characteristics is provided. High performance and high reliability of a semiconductor device including the transistor is achieved. A first conductor is formed over a substrate, a first insulator is formed over the first conductor, a layer that retains fixed charges is formed over the first insulator, a second insulator is formed over the layer that retains fixed charges, and a transistor is formed over the second insulator. Threshold voltage Vis controlled by appropriate adjustment of the thicknesses of the first insulator, the second insulator, and the layer that retains fixed charges.
