Abstract

A semiconductor device that can be highly integrated is provided. The semiconductor device includes a first transistor, a second transistor, and an electrode. The first transistor and the second transistor include an oxide, a gate insulator over the oxide, and a gate. The electrode is connected to one of a source and a drain of the first transistor and one of a source and a drain of the second transistor. The channel length of the first transistor is longer than the short side of the first conductor. The channel length of the second transistor is longer than the short side of the second conductor.
