A semiconductor device that includes an oxide semiconductor and is suitable for a power device having an ability to allow large current to flow therein. The semiconductor device includes: a first electrode having an opening and a second electrode provided in the opening of the first electrode and separated from the first electrode, over the semiconductor layer; a gate insulating layer over the first electrode, the second electrode, and the semiconductor layer; and a ring-shaped gate electrode over the gate insulating layer. An inner edge portion of the ring-shaped gate electrode overlaps the second electrode, while an outer edge portion of the ring-shaped gate electrode overlaps a part of the oxide semiconductor layer, which is located between the first electrode and the second electrode. An element imparting conductivity to the oxide semiconductor layer is added to the part. |
