Abstract
Provided is a semiconductor device having a structure which can suppress a decrease in electrical characteristics, which becomes more significant with miniaturization. The semiconductor device includes a plurality of gate electrode layers separated from each other. One of the plurality of gate electrode layers includes a region which overlaps with a part of an oxide semiconductor layer, a part of a source electrode layer, and a part of a drain electrode layer. Another of the plurality of gate electrode layers overlaps with a part of an end portion of the oxide semiconductor layer. The length in the channel width direction of each of the source electrode layer and the drain electrode layer is shorter than that of the one of the plurality of gate electrode layers.
