SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE

摘要

To increase the degree of integration of a semiconductor device such as a DCDC converter. In a semiconductor device (e.g., DCDC converter) including a controller circuit and a switching transistor, the switching transistor formed using an oxide semiconductor layer is stacked over a substrate on which the controller circuit is formed. The switching transistor includes a backgate to release heat generated in the oxide semiconductor layer. The backgate has electrical conduction with a wiring to release heat and prevent a temperature increase with integration. Moreover, for power saving, a potential hold portion including a transistor and a capacitor may be formed using part of the oxide semiconductor layer over the controller circuit. The potential hold portion is formed in a circuit for generating a bias potential in the controller circuit.
