Abstract
A superconducting transistor is provided with a base layer made of a normal conductor metal, an emitter layer made of a superconductor for injecting hot electrons to the base layer, a collector layer made of a superconductor for trapping electrons from the base layer, a first tunnel barrier layer made of an insulator and provided between the base layer and the emitter layer, and a second tunnel barrier layer made of an insulator and provided between the base layer and the collector layer.
