By providing a semiconductor device including a charge transfer channel to one end of which electric charges supplied from a charge supply unit are input, and which includes a plurality of branching regions at an intermediate portion, a plurality of gate electrodes provided on the corresponding branching regions of the charge transfer channel via insulating films, an input-signal supply unit for supplying each of the gate electrodes with an input signal, a transfer electrode, provided on the charge transfer channel via a gate insulating film, for performing control so that the electric charges are transferred in a predetermined direction within the charge transfer channel, a conversion unit for coverting the transferred electric charges into a voltage, and a sense amplifier to which an output signal from the conversion unit is input, and by providing a semiconductor circuit which includes such a device, it is possible to reduce the scale of circuitry, increase the calculation speed, and reduce electric power consumption.
