Abstract

This invention provides a semiconductor element which uses a plurality of carbon nanotubes as a current path, can reduce contact resistance of its electrode contact part, and has excellent electrical characteristics. This semiconductor element is characterized in that the semiconductor element includes a current path (16) comprised of a plurality of carbon nanotubes (18) and not less than two electrodes (14, 15) connected with the current path, wherein at least one or more of the electrodes is made of a mixture of a metal and a carbon material (17) having SP2 hybridized orbital, such as a multi-walled carbon nanotube, a glassy carbon, and graphite particles.
