Abstract

A new quantum well MOS transistor is described along with a processes for manufacturing it. In this transistor, the source and drain areas are separated from the channel by sufficiently thin insulating layers to enable the passage of charge carriers by the tunnel effect. Each of the source and drain areas is separated from the substrate by an electrically insulating layer that is sufficiently thick to prevent charge carriers from passing through this insulating layer.
