Abstract
According to one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and an oxide semiconductor layer provided between the first electrode and the second electrode and including a first region, a second region between the first region and the second electrode, and a third region between the first region and the second region. A gate electrode surrounds the third region, and a gate insulating layer is between the gate electrode and the third region. A first resistivity of the first region is higher than a second resistivity of the second region. A first distance between the first electrode and the gate electrode in a first direction from the first electrode toward the second electrode is shorter than a second distance between the gate electrode and the second electrode in the first direction.
