Abstract
A semiconductor device according to an embodiment comprises: a field effect transistor comprising a semiconductor layer and a gate electrode; a wiring line layer positioned above the field effect transistor; and a control circuit that adjusts a voltage of a wiring line in the wiring line layer. The wiring line layer comprises: a contact wiring line connected to a source or a drain of the field effect transistor; and a first wiring line facing a position between the gate electrode and the contact wiring line, of the semiconductor layer. The control circuit adjusts the contact wiring line to a certain voltage and sets the first wiring line to a floating state.
