1. A semiconductor device comprising:
an oxide semiconductor layer; and
a pair of electrodes in contact with the oxide semiconductor layer, the pair of electrodes including at least one of copper,
aluminum, gold, and silver,
wherein the oxide semiconductor layer has a stacked-layer structure comprising:
a first oxide semiconductor layer comprising a channel;
a second oxide semiconductor layer; and
a third oxide semiconductor layer between the first oxide semiconductor layer and the second oxide semiconductor layer,
wherein energy at a bottom of a conduction band of the second oxide semiconductor layer is smaller than energy at a bottom
of a conduction band of the third oxide semiconductor layer and larger than energy at a bottom of a conduction band of the
first oxide semiconductor layer, and
wherein the second oxide semiconductor layer includes a crystal part having c-axis alignment.
