Abstract
A data processing system formed of a collective element of quantum boxes including an electrode and a plurality of quantum boxes which respectively have a barrier layer made of the first semiconductor on the electrode and a well layer made of a second semiconductor adjacent to the barrier layer. The first semiconductor has an electron affinity .PHI..sub.B and an energy gap E.sub.gB. The second semiconductor has an electron affinity .phi..sub.W and an energy gap E.sub.gW. The equations .phi..sub.W >.phi..sub.B and .phi..sub.W +E.sub.gW >.phi..sub.B +E.sub.gB are simultaneously satisfied.
