Single-electron and quantum SOI devices

چکیده
This paper describes, from the viewpoint of device fabrication, single-electron and quantum devices using silicon-oninsulators (SOIs). We point out that control of the oxidation of Si is quite important and could be the key to their fabrication. We also introduce our technique for making single-electron transistors (SETs), which uses special phenomena that occur during the oxidation of SOIs, and show that the technique enables us to realize primary single-electron circuits as a result of its high controllability and high reproducibility. 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) serve as a new class of ‘zero dimensional’ nanomaterial’s in thecarbon class with sizes below 10 nm. As light emitting nanocrystals, QDs are assembled from semiconductormaterials, from the elements in the periodic groups of II-VI, III-V or IV-VI, mainly thanks to impacts of quantum confinement QDs have unique optical properties such as brighter, highly pho...
متن کاملBlue sky in SOI: new opportunities for quantum and hot-electron devices
The combination of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates with ultrathin Si and insulator layers opens new opportunities for quantum effect and hot-electron devices. Unlike their III–V predecessors, these devices have the crucial advantage of potential integrability with dominant silicon technology. We discuss three examples of such SOI devices: a three-terminal real-space transfer transistor wi...
