Abstract: The present invention pertains to a group III-V compound semiconductor nanowire able to be used in a group III-V compound semiconductor MOSFET (FET) operational at a small subthreshold (100 mV/dec or less). A side face of the group III-V compound semiconductor nanowire is a (?110) plane constituted of a very small (111) plane. The group III-V compound semiconductor nanowire has, e.g., a first layer having a (111)A plane as a side face thereof, and a second layer having a (111)B plane as a side face thereof. The first layer and the second layer are stacked alternatingly in the axial direction.

Abstract: A tunnel field-effect transistor (TFET) is configured by disposing a III-V compound semiconductor nano wire on a (111) plane of a IV semiconductor substrate exhibiting p-type conductivity, and arbitrarily disposing electrodes of a source, drain and gate. Alternatively, the tunnel field-effect transistor is configured by disposing a III-V compound semiconductor nano wire on a (111) plane of a IV semiconductor substrate exhibiting n-type conductivity, and arbitrarily disposing electrodes of a source, drain and gate. The nano wire is configured from a first region and a second region. For instance, the first region is intermittently doped with a p-type dopant, and the second region is doped with an n-type dopant.

Abstract: A device for measuring a molecule, wherein a gel substrate material (200) comprises a gel (220) containing a solvent in the network structure thereof and a molecular chain (210), and a cantilever (100) is bound with the molecular chain (210) by a covalent bonding or a physical bonding and pulls up the molecular chain (210) through the above bonding, and wherein the force loaded when the cantilever (100) pull up the molecular chain (210) is measured and the interaction between polymer chains acting between the gel (200) and the molecular chain (210) is detected. The above device can be used for measuring the interaction between molecules, and in particular, can construct an experiment system for measuring the non-covalent bonding interaction between polymer chains at a molecular level.
