[A] sensitive electronic device based on the Coulomb blockade effect. 5, record 1, English, - single%2Delectron%20transistor
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 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. 6, record 1, English, - single%2Delectron%20transistor
