Abstract

A semiconductor device with a novel structure is provided. A plurality of memory circuits, a switching circuit, and an arithmetic circuit are included. Each of the plurality of memory circuits has a function of retaining weight data and a function of outputting the weight data to a first wiring. The switching circuit has a function of switching a conduction state between any one of the plurality of first wirings and a second wiring. The arithmetic circuit has a function of performing arithmetic processing using input data and the weight data supplied to the second wiring. The memory circuits are provided in a first layer. The switching circuit and the arithmetic circuit are provided in a second layer. The first layer is provided in a layer different from the second layer.
