1. A field effect transistor comprising:
a heterostructure including a buffer layer or substrate;
a channel arranged on the buffer layer or on the substrate;
a capping layer arranged on the channel wherein the channel consists of a piezopolar material with piezoelectric polarization having two different type piezocharges including piezoinduced positive charges and piezoinduced negative charges; and wherein either the region around the boundary interface between the buffer layer or substrate and channel or the region around the boundary interface between the channel and capping layer, but not both regions, is doped in a manner such that only one type of the piezocharges occurring at the respective boundary interface is compensated; and
two contact electrodes and a gate electrode arranged on that surface of the capping layer distant to the channel.
