Abstract
In a static induction transistor of thermionic emission type, its gate region is formed of a semiconductor having a forbidden band gap larger than that of a semiconductor forming its channel region, and the distance between a source region and the intrinsic gate region is selected to be smaller than the mean free path of carriers so as to permit the thermionic emission. Such a vertical structure transistor is also applied to an integrated circuit.
