Abstract

A transistor or the like having excellent electrical characteristics is provided. A semiconductor device includes a gate electrode; a gate insulating film in contact with the gate electrode; and a multilayer film which is in contact with the gate insulating film and includes a first oxide semiconductor layer, a second oxide semiconductor layer, and a third oxide semiconductor layer in the order from a side farthest from the gate insulating film. The first oxide semiconductor layer, the second oxide semiconductor layer, and the third oxide semiconductor layer each contain indium, an element M (aluminum, gallium, yttrium, or tin), and zinc. The first oxide semiconductor layer has a thickness greater than or equal to 20 nm and less than or equal to 200 nm. The third oxide semiconductor layer has a thickness greater than or equal to 0.3 nm and less than 10 nm.
