Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a new n-type transistor, different from the prior art, using a channel having a nanotube-shaped structure, and having n-type semiconductive properties. To realize this, a film of a nitrogenous compound 6 is formed directly on a channel 5 of a transistor 1 comprising a source electrode 2 , a drain electrode 3 , a gate electrode 4 and the n-type channel 5 having a nanotube-shaped structure and provided between the source electrode 2 and the drain electrode 3.

Claims (12)
