- Abstract
For the low-power consumption analog and digital circuit applications based on a single-electron transistor, enhancement of its switching performance is required. Our previous works analytically and numerically demonstrated that a discretized charge input device, which comprised a tunnel junction and two capacitors, improved the gain characteristics of single-electron devices. We report the design and fabrication of an aluminum-based single-electron transistor having the discretized charge input function. Flat-plate and interdigital geometries were employed for adjusting capacitances of grounded and the coupling capacitors. The sample exhibited clear switching on input-output characteristics at the finite temperature.
