Current suppression in a double-island single-electron transistor for detection of degenerate charge configurations of a floating double-dot
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have investigated a double-island single-electron transistor ~DISET! coupled to a floating metal double-dot ~DD!. Low-temperature transport measurements were used to map out the charge configurations of both the DISET and the DD. A suppression of the current through the DISET was observed whenever the charge configurations of the DISET and the DD were energetically codegenerate. This effect was used to distinguish between degenerate and nondegenerate charge configurations of the DD. We also show that this detection scheme reduces the susceptibility of the DISET to interference from random charge noise. © 2003 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1630382#

As semiconductor device dimensions are reduced to the nanometer scale, the effects of high-defect-density surfaces on the transport properties become important to such an extent that the metallic character that prevails in large and highly doped structures is lost and the use of quantum dots for charge sensing becomes complex. Here, we have investigated the mechanism of the detection of electro...
