Abstract:
1. A rectifier comprising a first non-linear element and a second non-linear element, each of the first non-linear element and the second non-linear element comprising: a first electrode provided over a substrate; an oxide semiconductor film provided on and in contact with the first electrode; a second electrode provided on and in contact with the oxide semiconductor film; a gate insulating film covering the first electrode, the oxide semiconductor film, and the second electrode; and a third electrode provided in contact with the gate insulating film and adjacent to a side surface of the oxide semiconductor film, the third electrode being connected to the first electrode or the second electrode, wherein an anode of the first non-linear element is connected to a lower potential side reference potential, wherein a cathode of the first non-linear element is connected to an input portion and an anode of the second non-linear element, and wherein a cathode of the second non-linear element is connected to an output portion.
