It is an object to provide a semiconductor device in which power consumption can be reduced. It is another object to provide a highly reliable semiconductor device using a programming cell, such as a programmable logic device (PLD). In accordance with a change in a configuration of connections between basic blocks, power supply voltage furnishing to the basic blocks is changed. That is, when the structure of connections between the basic blocks is such that a basic block does not contribute to a circuit, the supply of the power supply voltage to this basic block is stopped. Further, the supply of the power supply voltage to the basic blocks is controlled using a programming cell formed using a field effect transistor whose channel formation region is formed using an oxide semiconductor, the field effect transistor having extremely low off-state current or extremely low leakage current.

A system and method for securing an insulated concrete wall to keep the wall straight and plumb during construction, independent of any other bracing structure or scaffolding frame. The system uses the lower previously constructed section of the wall as a secure anchoring base for the continued construction of the wall. The system uses a member that is vertically placed and attached against the insulated form wall with at least one securing extension that passes thru the foam panel and into the cavity of the wall before concrete is placed within the wall cavity. After concrete is placed in the lower section and additional rows of insulated forms are placed on top of the lower wall, a vertical brace is attached to the lower vertical member so that it extends above the lower poured section of the wall. A vertical upper member is then attached to the upper section of the insulated form wall in proper alignment with the vertical brace. A securing adjustment device is attached to the upper member and the brace allowing for the upper section of the formed wall to be properly aligned and plumbed. This system and method is now repeated with the upper section of the formed wall to become the lower section of the formed wall. The system is repeated until the final desired wall height is reached.
