Abstract
A new switching element and a circuit device and the like using the same element are provided, which comprises semiconductor in which a channel region is formed at an interface with an insulating film, first and second terminals S, D, which are located in corresponding manner to both ends of the channel region, and through which a tunnel current is let to flow into the channel region, and a third terminal G giving a high frequency vibration to a potential barrier of the channel region through the insulating film, wherein the tunnel current flowing into the channel region is increased as a value of an exponential function is increased with a predetermined threshold vibration frequency as a boundary value.
