SEMICONDUCTOR ELEMENT, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME, AND SEMICONDUCTOR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

摘要

[Problem] To provide a semiconductor element that can be manufactured easily at a low cost, can obtain a high tunneling current, and has an excellent operating characteristic, a method for manufacturing the same, and a semiconductor integrated circuit including the semiconductor element. [Solution] A semiconductor element of the present invention is characterized in that the whole or a part of a tunnel junction is constituted by a semiconductor region made of an indirect-transition semiconductor containing isoelectronic-trap-forming impurities.
