Abstract

An extremely narrow and thin silicon wire has been fabricated on a silicon-on-insulator wafer (see Figure). The room-temperature Coulomb blockade effects as well as the influence of a capacitively coupled gate on the transport properties of this conducting silicon quantum wire are studied. The results obtained are encouraging for the application of such wires in single-electron transistors.
