English

Subject field(s)
  • Semiconductors (Electronics)
  • Electronic Components
DEF

[A] sensitive electronic device based on the Coulomb blockade effect.

CONT

Such a rapid variation in conductance makes the single-electron transistor an ideal device for high-precision electrometry. In this type of application the SET has two gate electrodes, and the bias voltage is kept close to the Coulomb blockade voltage to enhance the sensitivity of the current to changes in the gate voltage.

DEF

[Dispositif] électronique basé sur l'effet de blocage de Coulomb.

CONT

Les caractéristiques de faible tension de polarisation d'un transistor à un électron doté d'un îlot Nb [niobium] et de fils en Al [aluminium] correspondaient à des transitions résonantes entre des états quantiques, déterminés par la charge transférée par le biais du circuit.
