Abstract
A semiconductor device that can be miniaturized or highly integrated is provided. The semiconductor device includes a transistor. The transistor includes a first conductor, a first insulator over the first conductor, an oxide provided with a groove portion over the first insulator, a second conductor and a third conductor disposed in a region that does not overlap with the groove portion in the oxide, a second insulator disposed between the second conductor and the third conductor and in the groove portion in the oxide, and a fourth conductor over the second insulator. A bottom surface of the fourth conductor is lower than a bottom surface of the second conductor and a bottom surface of the third conductor. In a cross-sectional view of the transistor in the channel length direction, an end portion of a bottom surface of the groove portion has a curvature.
