Abstract

Novel p-channel quantum-dot transistors were fabricated in silicon-on-insulator (SOI). Strong oscillations in the drain current as a function of the gate voltage have been observed at temperatures over 81 K and drain biases over 66 mV. Measurements show that the average energy level spacing is approximately 33 meV and it is due to both single hole charging effect and quantum confinement effect. A digital inverter using a complementary pair of n and p-channel quantum dot transistors is also proposed.
