Abstract
Provided is an infrared light detectorwith a plurality of first electronic regionswhich are electrically independent from each other and arranged in a specific direction, formed by dividing a single first electronic region. An outer electron system which is electrically connected to each of the plurality of first electronic regionsin a connected status is configured such that an electron energy level of excited sub-bands of each of the plurality of first electron regionsin a disconnected status is sufficiently higher than a Fermi level of each of second electronic regionsopposed to each of the first electronic regionsin a conduction channel
