Abstract
A semiconductor device including an oxide semiconductor that is miniaturized and has favorable electrical characteristics is provided. The semiconductor device includes an oxide semiconductor film and a blocking film; a source electrode and a drain electrode electrically connected to the oxide semiconductor film; a gate insulating film in contact with the oxide semiconductor film, the source electrode, and the drain electrode; and a gate electrode in contact with the gate insulating film. The blocking film contains the same material as the oxide semiconductor film, is on the same surface as the oxide semiconductor film, and has a higher conductivity than the oxide semiconductor film.
