Electronic component, method for the control thereof, and method for producing an electronic component

An electronic component, comprising a first layer and a second layer, wherein a main surface of the first layer is arranged opposite a main surface of the second layer,

• wherein the first layer comprises a first material with a wurtzite crystal structure, and wherein a polarization of the first material faces in a first direction, and
• wherein the second layer comprises a second material with a wurtzite crystal structure, wherein the second material comprises a transition metal, wherein the second material is ferroelectric and comprises at least one polarization state, wherein a direction of a polarization of the second material at least in the one polarization state of the second material is at least in part opposite to the first direction, so that a charge zone is formed along the main surface of the first and/or second layer, said charge zone being electrically conductive at least when the second material is in the one polarization state, and
• wherein the one polarization state of the second material is a first polarization state and wherein the direction of the polarization of the second material in a second polarization state of the second material is at least in part aligned with the first direction, and
• wherein the electronic component is configured to set the second material of the second layer to the first polarization state, at least in regions.

A method for producing an electronic component, comprising:

• arranging a first layer and a second layer,
• such that a main surface of the second layer is arranged opposite a main surface of the first layer, and
• such that the main surface of the first layer is arranged adjacent to the main surface of the second layer, or
• such that the electronic component further comprises a third layer which is arranged adjacent to the main surface of the first layer and is arranged adjacent to the main surface of the second layer, wherein the third layer comprises a wurtzite crystal structure,
• such that the first layer comprises a first material, and the second layer comprises a second material, wherein the second material comprises at least one polarization state, and
• such that a polarization of the first material faces in a first direction,
• such that the direction of the polarization of the second material at least in the one polarization state of the second material is at least in part opposite to the first direction so that a charge zone forms along the main surface of the first layer and/or the second layer, said charge zone being electrically conductive at least when the second material is in the one polarization state.
