    摘要: [Problem] To improve the drain current ON/OFF ratio characteristics.
    [Solution] A tunnel field-effect transistor 10 of the present invention is such that, when the gate length is denoted by LG and the extension distance of a source region 1 extended toward a drain region 3 from a position in the source region 1 is denoted by LOV, LTG expressed in Formula (1) below as the shortest distance between the position of an extension end of the source region 1 based on a drain-side reference position as the side face position of a gate electrode 6a, 6b closest to the drain region 3, and the position in the semiconductor layer 4 opposite to the drain-side reference position in the height direction of the gate electrode 6a, 6b satisfies a condition of Inequality (2) below. Note that lt_OFF in Inequality (2) denotes a shortest tunnel distance over which carriers move from the source region to a channel region through a tunnel junction surface in an OFF state of the tunnel field-effect transistor.
