Abstract
A field-effect transistor that having a nanowire, which forms a source region, a channel region and a drain region of the field-effect transistor, the nanowire being a semiconducting and/or metallically conductive nanowire. The field-effect transistor also has at least one nanotube, which forms a gate region of the field-effect transistor, the nanotube being a semiconducting and/or metallically conductive nanotube. The nanowire and the nanotube are arranged at a distance from one another or set up in such a manner that it is substantially impossible for there to be a tunneling current between the nanowire and the nanotube, and that the conductivity of the channel region of the nanowire can be controlled by means of a field effect as a result of an electric voltage being applied to the nanotube.
