Abstract

A semiconductor device with favorable electrical characteristics is provided. A semiconductor device having stable electrical characteristics is provided. A highly reliable semiconductor device is provided. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor layer, a first insulating layer, a second insulating layer, and a conductive layer. The first insulating layer is in contact with part of the top surface of the semiconductor layer, the conductive layer is positioned over the first insulating layer, and the second insulating layer is positioned over the semiconductor layer. The semiconductor layer contains a metal oxide and includes a first region overlapping with the conductive layer and a second region not overlapping with the conductive layer. The second region is in contact with the second insulating layer. The second insulating layer contains oxygen and a first element. The first element is one or more of phosphorus, boron, magnesium, aluminum, and silicon.
