Abstract
A semiconductor device is provided comprising a control electrode for forming carriers at a junction interface between first and second layers of different materials and for controlling the carriers, a first electrode which is electronically connected to the carriers, and a second electrode region for taking out the carriers in a direction perpendicular to the junction interface. Since the two-dimensional carriers are caused to flow as a current in the direction perpendicular to a plane on which the carriers exist, a great current can be derived as an operating current.
