    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device in which stored data can be held even when power is not supplied for a certain time. Another object is to increase the degree of integration of a semiconductor device and to increase the storage capacity per unit area. A semiconductor device is formed with a material capable of sufficiently reducing off-state current of a transistor, such as an oxide semiconductor material that is a wide-bandgap semiconductor. With the use of a semiconductor material capable of sufficiently reducing off-state current of a transistor, the semiconductor device can hold data for a long time. Furthermore, a wiring layer provided under a transistor, a high-resistance region in an oxide semiconductor film, and a source electrode are used to form a capacitor, thereby reducing the area occupied by the transistor and the capacitor.
