US Patent 11538940 Semiconductor device and electronic device

To provide a miniaturized transistor having highly stable electrical characteristics. Furthermore, also in a semiconductor device including the transistor, high performance and high reliability are achieved. The transistor includes, over a substrate, a conductor, an oxide semiconductor, and an insulator. The oxide semiconductor includes a first region and a second region. The resistance of the second region is lower than that of the first region. The entire surface of the first region in the oxide semiconductor is surrounded in all directions by the conductor with the insulator interposed therebetween.
