In Figure 4, in the case of the a-3i:H single film shown for reference, there is a very large difference of about 3 orders of magnitude between the dark current (indicated by the square mark) and the photocurrent (indicated by the △ mark). In other words, it can be seen that the current changes significantly just by shining light on it (high photoconductivity). On the other hand, in the case of the above-mentioned superlattice, the difference between the dark current (indicated by .) and the photocurrent (indicated by ○) is very small compared to the above-mentioned a-Si:H single film, and the photoconductivity is is suppressed. Therefore, the TPT of this example using such a superlattice is not affected by stray light,
It has very stable operating characteristics.

Next, FIG. 2 shows a schematic configuration of a second embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, a superlattice 13 is sandwiched between a source electrode S and a drain electrode from both ends. The superlattice 13 has the same structure as the superlattice 3 described above, and has the relationship shown in FIG. 4. Even with such a configuration, the photoconductivity can be suppressed to a very low level, making it less susceptible to stray light.

Next, FIG. 3 shows a schematic configuration of a third embodiment of the present invention. In this figure, the structure shown in FIG. 1 is obtained by removing the gate insulating film 2, that is, the superlattice 23 is directly formed on the glass substrate 1 and the gate electrode G. This superlattice 23 was also produced in the same manner as the superlattice 3.13 described above, and has the relationship shown in FIG. 4. The reason why the gate insulating film 2 can be removed here is as follows.

In the same figure, in the case of L, = L, = 100 people (curve I), the voltage is 10"' regardless of the magnitude of the applied voltage.
It has a large resistivity of Ω·cm or more. L,=Ls=3
In the case of 0 people (curve ■) and the case of = Ls = 10 people (curve ■), the thickness of each layer becomes gradually thinner compared to the case of curve I, and leakage current due to the tunneling effect occurs accordingly. When the applied voltage is around 5 to IOV, it is 1013Ω・
It maintains a resistivity higher than the mark.

These resistivities in the film thickness direction are significantly larger than the resistivity in the in-plane direction, which is less than 10 Ω·cm. Therefore, due to this anisotropic property of resistivity, the film is substantially insulated in the thickness direction, and the gate electrode G
There is no need for a gate insulating film between the superlattice 23 and the superlattice 23.

If the gate insulating film is not required in this way, the structure becomes very simple, which is very advantageous in terms of reliability and cost reduction.
