There is provided a semiconductor device, in which characteristics of the
semiconductor device are improved by thinning a gate insulating film and
a leak current can be reduced, and a manufacturing method thereof. An
aluminum film which is a metal film is formed over a polycrystalline
semiconductor film, and plasma oxidizing treatment is performed to the
aluminum film, whereby an aluminum oxide film is formed by oxidizing the
aluminum film, and a silicon oxide film is formed between the
polycrystalline semiconductor film and the aluminum oxide film.
