Abstract
A semiconductor device capable of retaining data for a long time is provided. A semiconductor device includes a first transistor including a first insulator, a first oxide semiconductor, a first gate, and a second gate; a second transistor including a second oxide semiconductor, a third gate, and a fourth gate; and a node. The first gate and the second gate overlap with each other with the first oxide semiconductor therebetween. The third gate and the fourth gate overlap with each other with the second oxide semiconductor therebetween. The first oxide semiconductor and the second gate overlap with each other with the first insulator therebetween. One of a source and a drain of the first transistor, the first gate, and the fourth gate are electrically connected to the node. The first insulator is configured to charges.
