Fabrication and characterization of Au island single-electron transistors with CrOx step edge junctions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Single-electron transistors fabricated using Au islands and CrOx resistive microstrips are reported. To investigate the occurrence of Coulomb blockade in these devices, three types of device designs have been tested. Typical single-electron behavior, conductance modulation by the gate, is observed in the devices which had small overlap area with the gold island. Electron transport mechanism of CrOx resistors is discussed and a hypothesis of the formation of step edge junctions at the edges of granular metal microstrips is given as the explanation for the experimental results. © 2004 American Vacuum Society.

Origin of Coulomb blockade oscillations in single-electron transistors fabricated with granulated Cr/Cr2O3 resistive microstrips
The purpose of our work is to evaluate single-electron devices fabricated using resistive microstrips and to investigate its applicability for single-electron logic. In this article, we present our work on the fabrication and characterization of SETs with gold islands and CrOx resistive microstrips. The electron transport mechanism of CrOx resistors is also discussed and hypothesis of two types...
متن کاملConduction coefficient modeling in bilayer graphene based on schottky transistors
Nowadays carbon nanoparticles are applied on the island of single electron transistor and Nano-transistors. The basis of single electron devices (SEDs) is controllable single electron transfer between small conducting islands. Based on the important points in quantum mechanics, when a wave passes through several spatial regions with different boundaries, the wave function of the first region di...

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...

It has been recently shown that manufacturing p-n-junctions, field-effect and bipolar transistors, thyristors in a multilayer structure by diffusion or ion implantation with the optimization of dopant and/or radiation defects leads to increase the sharpness of p-n-junctions (both single p-n-junctions and p-n-junctions framework their system). Due to the optimization, one can also obtain increas...

In this paper, we have investigated the effects of asymmetry in the source and drain capacitance of metallic island single electron transistors. By comparing the source and drain Fermi levels, in the ground and source referenced biasing configurations, with the island’s discrete charging energy levels for various gate voltages, we have derived a set of closed form equations for the device thres...
