摘要: An object is to provide a semiconductor device having a novel structure, which can hold stored data even when not powered and which has an unlimited number of write cycles. A semiconductor device includes a memory cell including a widegap semiconductor, for example, an oxide semiconductor. The memory cell includes a writing transistor, a reading transistor, and a selecting transistor. Using a widegap semiconductor, a semiconductor device capable of sufficiently reducing the off-state current of a transistor included in a memory cell and holding data for a long time can be provided.

摘要: A semiconductor device including a nonvolatile memory cell in which a writing transistor which includes an oxide semiconductor, a reading transistor which includes a semiconductor material different from that of the writing transistor, and a capacitor are included is provided. Data is written to the memory cell by turning on the writing transistor and applying a potential to a node where a source electrode (or a drain electrode) of the writing transistor, one electrode of the capacitor, and a gate electrode of the reading transistor are electrically connected, and then turning off the writing transistor, so that the predetermined amount of charge is held in the node. Further, when a p-channel transistor is used as the reading transistor, a reading potential is a positive potential.

摘要: A semiconductor device with a novel structure in which stored data can be held even when power is not supplied and there is no limitation on the number of times of writing. In the semiconductor device, a plurality of memory cells each including a first transistor, a second transistor, and a capacitor is provided in matrix and a wiring (also called a bit line) for connecting one memory cell to another memory cell and a source or drain electrode of the first transistor are electrically connected to each other through a source or drain electrode of the second transistor. Accordingly, the number of wirings can be smaller than that in the case where the source or drain electrode of the first transistor and the source or drain electrode of the second transistor are connected to different wirings. Thus, the degree of integration of the semiconductor device can be increased.

摘要: A semiconductor device with a novel structure is provided, which can hold stored data even when no power is supplied and which has no limitations on the number of writing operations. A semiconductor device is formed using a material which enables off-state current of a transistor to be reduced significantly; e.g., an oxide semiconductor material which is a wide-gap semiconductor. With use of a semiconductor material which enables off-state current of a transistor to be reduced significantly, the semiconductor device can hold data for a long period. In a semiconductor device with a memory cell array, parasitic capacitances generated in the nodes of the first to the m-th memory cells connected in series are substantially equal, whereby the semiconductor device can operate stably.
