    摘要: In an optical sensor device employing an amorphous silicon photodiode, an external amplifier IC and the like are required due to low current capacity of the sensor element in order to improve the load driving capacity. It leads to increase in cost and mounting space of the optical sensor device. In addition, noise may easily superimpose since the photodiode and the amplifier IC are connected to each other over a printed circuit board. According to the invention, an amorphous silicon photodiode and an amplifier configured by a thin film transistor are formed integrally over a substrate so that the load driving capacity is improved while reducing cost and mounting space. Superimposing noise can be also reduced.

    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 signal processing circuit including a nonvolatile storage circuit with a novel structure. The signal processing circuit includes a circuit that is supplied with a power supply voltage and has a first node to which a first high power supply potential is applied, and a nonvolatile storage circuit for holding a potential of the first node. The nonvolatile storage circuit includes a transistor whose channel is formed in an oxide semiconductor layer, and a second node that is brought into a floating state when the transistor is turned off. A second high power supply potential or a ground potential is input to a gate of the transistor. When the power supply voltage is not supplied, the ground potential is input to the gate of the transistor and the transistor is kept off. The second high power supply potential is higher than the first high power supply potential.

    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a nonvolatile memory cell including a writing transistor including an oxide semiconductor, a reading transistor including a semiconductor material different from that of the writing transistor, and a capacitor. Data is written to the memory cell by turning on the writing transistor so that a potential is supplied to a node where a source 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 a predetermined potential is held in the node. Data is read out from the memory cell by supplying a precharge potential to a bit line, stopping the supply of the potential to the bit line, and determining whether the potential of the bit line is kept at the precharge potential or decreased.
