Abstract

Provided is a field effect transistor including a semiconductor layer, a gate electrode provided on a channel region in the semiconductor layer, and a channel adjusting member provided adjacent to the channel region on one surface of the semiconductor layer and overlapping the gate electrode on a plane. Here, the channel adjusting member provides a depletion layer in the channel region.
