Semiconductor element, semiconductor integrated circuit, and production method for semiconductor element

Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor element capable of being manufactured in small size, easily and at a low cost and obtaining a large on-current, a semiconductor integrated circuit, and a production method for the semiconductor element. A semiconductor element 10 has an element structure of a tunnel field-effect transistor. A channel part 13 formed of an indirect transition-type semiconductor is formed as a plate-like shaped portion having one end connected to a source part 14 and the other end connected to a drain part 15. Of two pairs of opposing surfaces of first opposing surfaces and second opposing surfaces which constitute the channel part 13 and are opposed in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which a current flows from the source part 14 to the drain part 15, at least one pair of the opposing surfaces selected from the two pairs is formed by arranging at a facing interval of 15 nm at the longest between the opposing surfaces, electron confinement surfaces in which a band structure of a direct transition-type semiconductor is capable of being simulatively given to the indirect transition-type semiconductor by regulation of electron motion.
