Abstract
A semiconductor device which utilizes the fact that the effective mass of charged particles becomes exceedingly large at certain points in the direction of a periodically repeating potential by virtue of a periodic structure in which semiconductor layers are stacked in the form of a superlattice. The periodic structure enables the movement of charged particles to be one-dimensional and thus permits a great improvement in the mobility of charged particles in the channel direction. Accordingly, it is possible to realize a FET of ultrahigh mobility.
