Abstract:
A nonvolatile memory is provided. A semiconductor device (a nonvolatile memory) has a circuit configuration similar to that of a general SRAM. By providing a transistor whose off-state current is small between a stored data holding portion and a power supply line of the SRAM, leakage of electric charge from the stored data holding portion is prevented. As the transistor whose off-state current is small provided for preventing leakage of electric charge from the stored data holding portion, a transistor including an oxide semiconductor film is preferably used. Such a configuration can also be applied to a shift register, whereby a shift register with low power consumption can be obtained.
