1. A film structure comprising:
at least one active monolayer having an energy level quantized in at least one axial direction; and
at least one layer of a barrier alternately stacked with the at least one layer of the active monolayer,
wherein a current flows through the active monolayer, and the current flow is limited by the quantized energy level,
the barrier includes one or more of an organic material and an organic-inorganic composite material, and the barrier includes 4-mercaptophenol,
the active monolayer includes an amorphous region and a plurality of crystalline regions having island shapes surrounded by the amorphous region, and
the active monolayer has an energy level quantized in a 3-axis direction.
