Abstract
An n-GaN layer is provided as an emitter layer for supplying electrons. A non-doped (intrinsic) Al Ga N layer (0≦x≦1) having a compositionally graded Al content ratio x is provided as an electron transfer layer for transferring electrons toward the surface. A non-doped AlN layer having a negative electron affinity (NEA) is provided as a surface layer. Above the AlN layer, a control electrode and a collecting electrode are provided. An insulating layer formed of a material having a larger electron affinity than that of the AlN layer is interposed between the control electrode and the collecting electrode. This provides a junction transistor which allows electrons injected from the AlN layer to conduct through the conduction band of the insulating layer and then reach the collecting electrode.
