<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a semiconductor element equipped with both a light-emitting or receiving function and a switching function by using a nanowire. <P>SOLUTION: The semiconductor element includes a semiconductor nano-wire 1 having a first region 7 provided with pn junction or pin junction, and a second region 8 provided with a field effect transistor structure; a pair of electrodes (2, 3) to be connected to both ends of the semiconductor nanowire 1; and a gate electrode 4 provided on at least one part of the second region via an insulation layer 5. Further, the semiconductor nanowire 1 has a p-type semiconductor section and an n-type semiconductor section, and any one of the p- and n-type semiconductor sections is a constituent of the first and second regions. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
