Abstract: There have been cases where transistors formed using oxide semiconductors are inferior in reliability to transistors formed using amorphous silicon. Thus, in the present invention, a semiconductor device including a highly reliable transistor formed using an oxide semiconductor is manufactured. An oxide semiconductor film is deposited by a sputtering method, using a sputtering target including an oxide semiconductor having crystallinity, and in which the direction of the c-axis of a crystal is parallel to a normal vector of the top surface of the oxide semiconductor. The target is formed by mixing raw materials so that its composition ratio can obtain a crystal structure.

Abstract: The system makes it possible to monitor various electrical variables by using a simple structure at low cost with ease and with high reliability by a circuit breaker which jointly includes a current transformer to detect current, a transformer to detect voltage, and a zero-phase current transformer to detect leakage current, in addition to the switch controller to perform the basic function of the circuit breaker. Moreover, the system also provides a function to display various measured values, obtained as described above, by a display unit that can be detached and installed separately from the measuring section to display data sent in digital form by data transmission.
