Patent ID: 7750380

Claim:
A semiconductor device, comprising: a substrate; a first gate electrode; a second gate electrode; a first channel region positioned between the substrate and the first gate electrode; a second channel region positioned between the substrate and the second gate electrode; a gate insulation film positioned at least between the first channel region and the first gate electrode, and between the second channel region and the second gate electrode; a first conducting section positioned between the substrate and the gate insulation film; a second conducting section positioned between the substrate and the gate insulation film, the first channel region being positioned between the first conducting section and the second conducting section; a third conducting section positioned between the substrate and the gate insulation film, the second channel region being positioned between the second conducting section and the third conducting section; and an intermediate electrode electrically connected to the second gate electrode, and overlapping a part of the first gate electrode, wherein: the first gate electrode forms a capacitor with the intermediate electrode; and the second gate electrode is electrically connected with the first gate electrode via the capacitor.
