Abstract

To form an oxide semiconductor film with a low density of localized levels. To improve electric characteristics of a semiconductor device including the oxide semiconductor. After oxygen is added to an oxide film containing In or Ga in contact with an oxide semiconductor film functioning as a channel, heat treatment is performed to make oxygen in the oxide film containing In or Ga transfer to the oxide semiconductor film functioning as a channel, so that the amount of oxygen vacancies in the oxide semiconductor film is reduced. Further, an oxide film containing In or Ga is formed, oxygen is added to the oxide film, an oxide semiconductor film is formed over the oxide film, and then heat treatment is performed.
