SPICE simulation of single - electron electronics compared to measurement results
نویسنده
چکیده
In this article three well known singleelectron tunnelling (SET) circuits are discussed. Both measurement results and simulation results on the three SET circuits are shown. The simulation results were obtained using a SPICE model for a single SET junction. The experimental data from SET circuits is used for validation purposes of the SPICE model. The SPICE model performed good on all experimental data. This is the only SPICE model available, that is able to predict the measurement results correctly for the so called single-electron pump circuit.

Simulating SET circuits using SPICE
With single-electron tunneling (SET) technology it is possible to build electronic circuits with extreme low power properties. These SET circuits must therefore operate in the single electronics (current) regime. To simulate SET circuits in this regime, a SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis) model has been written In contrast to, the prescriptions in the so-called Orthodo...
