Abstract: A semiconductor device that has lower power consumption and is capable of non-destructive reading is provided. The semiconductor device includes a first transistor, a first FTJ element, and a second FTJ element. A first terminal of the first transistor is electrically connected to an output terminal of the first FTJ element and an input terminal of the second FTJ element. In data writing, polarization is caused in each of the first FTJ element and the second FTJ element in accordance with the data. In data reading, voltage with which the polarization does not change is applied between the output terminal of the first FTJ element and the input terminal of the second FTJ element. At this time, the first transistor is turned on, whereby a differential current between current flowing through the first FTJ element and current flowing through the second FTJ element flows through the first transistor. Obtaining the differential current using a read circuit or the like enables the data written to the first FTJ element and the second FTJ element to be read.
