  • silicon nanowire Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor field-effect transistor
    Applied Physics Letters, 2008
    Co-Authors: Satoru Miyamoto, Yukinori Ono, Katsuhiko Nishiguchi, Kohei M. Itoh, Akira Fujiwara
    Abstract:

    Transport dynamics of a few electrons in a quantum dot are investigated in a single-electron ratchet using silicon nanowire Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor field-effect transistors. Time-resolved measurements in a nanosecond regime are carried out to determine the escape times of the first, second, and third electrons from the quantum dot originally containing three electrons. The escape time strongly depends on the number of electrons due to the single-electron charging effect in the quantum dot, which makes it possible to achieve selective ejection of a desired number of electrons.

  • Single electron tunneling transistor with tunable barriers using silicon nanowire Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor field-effect transistor
    Applied Physics Letters, 2006
    Co-Authors: Akira Fujiwara, Hideo Namatsu, Hiroshi Inokawa, Neil M Zimmerman, Yasuo Takahashi, Kenji Yamazaki, Stuart B. Martin
    Abstract:

    We have achieved the operation of single-electron tunneling (SET) transistors with gate-induced electrostatic barriers using silicon nanowire Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) structures. The conductance of tunnel barriers is tunable by more than three orders of magnitude. By using the flexible control of the tunable barriers, the systematic evolution from a single charge island to double islands was clearly observed. We obtained excellent reproducibility in the gate capacitances: values on the order of 10 aF, with the variation smaller than 1 aF. This flexibility and controllability both demonstrate that the device is highly designable to build a variety of SET devices based on complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor technology. © 2006 American Institute of Physics

  • scanning microwave microscopy spectroscopy on Metal Oxide Semiconductor systems
    Journal of Applied Physics, 2010
    Co-Authors: Jürgen Smoliner, Hans Peter Huber, Markus Hochleitner, M. Moertelmaier, Ferry Kienberger
    Abstract:

    In this paper, an analytical model for capacitance measurements by scanning microwave microscopy (SMM)/scanning microwave spectroscopy is presented. The tip-sample interactions are included by using the physics of Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor junctions and the influence of various experimental parameters, such as the operation frequency, tip bias, tip area, Oxide thickness, and sample doping are discussed. For calibrated carrier profiling it is shown that all relevant operation parameters of the SMM can be condensed into a single calibration constant and that the sample doping is obtained by using a simple analytical formula.
