SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE INCLUDING LATCH CIRCUIT

The latch circuit includes a transistor whose channel region is formed with an oxide semiconductor (OS). Data is held in a node that is electrically connected to an output terminal and one of a source and a drain of the transistor and brought into a floating state when the transistor is turned off. Note that the oxide semiconductor has a band gap wider than silicon and an intrinsic carrier density lower than silicon. By using such an oxide semiconductor for the channel region of the transistor, the transistor with an extremely low off-state current (leakage current) can be realized.
