Abstract:
A novel semiconductor device, a semiconductor device capable of storing multi-level data, a semiconductor device with low power consumption, a semiconductor device with a reduced area, or a highly reliable semiconductor device is provided. The semiconductor device includes a memory cell which includes a first transistor and a capacitor, and a second transistor. The first transistor includes an oxide semiconductor in a channel formation region. One of a source and a drain of the first transistor is electrically connected to a first wiring. The other of the source and the drain of the first transistor is electrically connected to one of electrodes of the capacitor. The other of the electrodes of the capacitor is electrically connected to a second wiring. A gate of the second transistor is electrically connected to the first wiring.
