Abstract:
Provided is a semiconductor device that can operate stably. All transistors included in the semiconductor device are transistors each of which contains an oxide semiconductor in a channel formation region. The transistor includes a front gate and a back gate. The threshold voltage of the transistor can be shifted in the positive direction or the negative direction depending on a potential applied to the back gate. To make the transistor in a conducting state, the threshold voltage is shifted in the negative direction to increase the amount of current flowing in the transistor, and to make the transistor in a non-conducting state, the threshold voltage is shifted in the positive direction to decrease the amount of current flowing in the transistor. A circuit of the semiconductor device that utilizes this effect and includes transistors all having the same polarity is formed.
