  • Patent number: 10134911
    Abstract: A transistor whose channel is formed in a semiconductor having dielectric anisotropy is provided. A transistor having a small subthreshold swing value is provided. A transistor having normally-off electrical characteristics is provided. A transistor having a low leakage current in an off state is provided. A semiconductor device includes an insulator, a semiconductor, and a conductor. In the semiconductor device, the semiconductor includes a region overlapping with the conductor with the insulator positioned therebetween, and a dielectric constant of the region in a direction perpendicular to a top surface of the region is higher than a dielectric constant of the region in a direction parallel to the top surface.
