Abstract
A semiconductor device capable of efficiently increasing a capacity of a mounted storage element while achieving space saving, and an electronic apparatus including this semiconductor device are provided. The semiconductor device includes a storage element including a filament that has a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, and an insulation layer. The first conductive layer and the second conductive layer are stacked with at least the insulation layer interposed between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer. The filament obtains at least three identifiable resistance states by changing a combination of a state of the first conductive layer, a state of the second conductive layer, and a state of the insulation layer. The semiconductor device further includes a writing unit that produces the at least three identifiable resistance states by applying a blow current to the storage element.
