Semiconductor Single-Electron Digital Devices and Circuits

Abstract

Research objectives were the theoretical investigation of single- electron tunneling phenomena in semiconductor heterostructures, and their application possibilities in the development of ultradense logic and memory circuits. Report period objectives: (1) To design and model simple digital circuits based on capacitively coupled single-electron transistors; and (2) To extend the orthodox theory of correlated single-electron tunneling to ultrasmall quantum dots.
