Abstract

Provided is a semiconductor element having, while maintaining the same integratability as a conventional MOSFET, excellent switch characteristics compared with the MOSFET, that is, having the S-value less than 60 mV/order at room temperature. Combining the MOSFET and a tunnel bipolar transistor having a tunnel junction configures a semiconductor element that shows an abrupt change in the drain current with respect to a change in the gate voltage (an S-value of less than 60 mV/order) even at a low voltage.
