Claim Text:
1. A tunnel-effect transistor comprising: a source region, a drain region and a gate electrode, a first region among said source and drain regions including a first doped zone with a doping of a first type, said first region including a second doped zone with a doping exclusively of a second type and forming a junction with said first doped zone, wherein a second region, among the source and drain regions, further includes a third doped zone with a doping of the first type, wherein said second doped zone and said third doped zone are separated by, and both in contact with, a semiconductor zone, the second doped zone extends in between the first doped zone and the semiconductor zone, a channel region is provided in said semiconductor zone, and said first doped zone contacts said second doped zone while not contacting with said semiconductor zone.
