Abstract

A semiconductor device has a structure in which a light-emitting layer of an organic material or the like is sandwiched between a work function controlled single-wall carbon nanotube cathode encapsulating a donor having a low ionization potential and a work function controlled single-wall carbon nanotube anode encapsulating an acceptor having a high electron affinity. A semiconductor device represented by an organic field-effect light-emitting element and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The semiconductor device and the method of manufacturing the same make it possible to improve characteristics and performance, such as reduction in light-emission starting voltage and a high luminous efficiency, to improve reliability, such as an increase in life, and to improve productivity, such as reduction in manufacturing cost.
