Abstract

A semiconductor device (1001) includes: a first transistor (10A) having a first channel length L1 and a first channel width W1; and a second transistor (10B) having a second channel length L2 and a second channel width W2, wherein the first transistor (10A) and the second transistor (10B) include an active layer formed from a common oxide semiconductor film, the first transistor (10A) is a memory transistor which is capable of being irreversibly changed from a semiconductor state where a drain current Isd depends on a gate voltage Vg to a resistor state where the drain current Isd does not depend on the gate voltage Vg, and the first channel length L1 is smaller than the second channel length L2.
