Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device, comprising: a semiconductor layer having a source region, a drain region, and a channel region positioned between the source region and drain region, the source region having a first source region and a second source region formed continuously from the first source region, the first source region extending in a first direction and the second source region extending in a second direction, the first direction intersecting the second direction, the drain region including a first drain region and a second drain region formed continuously from the first drain region, the first drain region extending in the first direction and the second drain region extending in the second direction; a gate electrode overlapping with the channel region, the gate electrode having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion of the gate electrode extending in the first direction, the second portion of the gate electrode extending in the second direction that is intersecting with the first direction; and a gate insulating layer positioned between the semiconductor layer and the gate electrode.
