Abstract

Superconducting electrodes are formed on a semiconductor which serves as a channel. A control electrode is disposed through an insulator film or a p-n junction on the side of the semiconductor which is opposite to the semiconductor side on which the superconducting electrode is formed. A superconducting current which flows between the superconducting electrodes across the semiconductor is controlled by an electric signal which is applied to the control electrode, thereby enhancing the current gain.
