    Abstract: A novel sputtering target is provided. The sputtering target includes a first region and a second region. The first region contains a first metal oxide containing an element M1 (the element M1 is one or more elements selected from Al, Ga, Si, Mg, Zr, and B). The second region contains a second metal oxide containing indium and zinc. The first region and the second region are separated from each other. Each of the first region and the second region is a crystal grain. A crystal grain boundary is observed between the first region and the second region. The diameter of each of the first region and the second region is greater than or equal to 5 nm and less than or equal to 10 μm.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device including an oxide semiconductor layer which is formed over a substrate and includes indium is provided. The oxide semiconductor layer is formed in parallel or substantially in parallel with a surface of the substrate. The oxide semiconductor layer includes a first region, a second region over the first region, and a third region over the second region. The first region is located in a range from a formation surface of the oxide semiconductor layer to greater than or equal to 0 nm to less than or equal to 3 nm in a direction substantially perpendicular to the formation surface. In cross-sectional observation of the oxide semiconductor layer using a transmission electron microscope, bright spots arranged in a layered manner in a direction parallel to the formation surface are observed in each of the first region, the second region, and the third region.

    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.
