Abstract
A field-effect transistor of the present invention has first semiconductor layers disposed in at least two regions located above a substrate and spaced apart in a direction parallel to a substrate surface, second semiconductor layers disposed on the respective first semiconductor layers to protrude from the respective side surfaces of the first semiconductor layers, and ohmic electrodes disposed on the respective second semiconductor layers. The field-effect transistor also has a gate electrode formed by self alignment relative to the ohmic electrodes, which is disposed in a region located above the substrate and lying between the first semiconductor layers in spaced relation to the respective side surfaces of the first semiconductor layers.
