Abstract:
An object is to provide a semiconductor device with a novel structure in which stored data can be retained even when power is not supplied, and does not have a limitation on the number of times of writing operations. A semiconductor device includes a source-bit line, a first signal line, a second signal line, a word line, and a memory cell connected between the source-bit lines. The memory cell includes a first transistor, a second transistor, and a capacitor. The second transistor is formed including an oxide semiconductor material. A gate electrode of the first transistor, one of a source and drain electrodes, and one of electrodes of the capacitor are electrically connected to one another. The source-bit line and a source electrode of the first transistor are electrically connected to each other. Another source-bit line adjacent to the above source-bit line and a drain electrode of the first transistor are electrically connected to each other.
