Memory device and electronic device
A memory device with a small number of wirings using a NAND flash memory having a three-dimensional structure with a large number of stacked memory cell layers is provided. A decoder is formed using an OS transistor. An OS transistor can be formed by a method such as a thin film method, whereby the decoder can be provided to be stacked above the NAND flash memory having a three-dimensional structure. This can reduce the number of wirings provided substantially perpendicular to the memory cell layers.
