摘要
An extensive investigation of low frequency noise in single electron transistors as a function of gain is presented. Comparing the output noise with gain for a large number of bias points, it is found that the noise is dominated by external charge noise. For low gains we find an additional noise contribution which is compared to a model including resistance fluctuations. We conclude that this excess noise is not primarily due to resistance fluctuations. For one sample, we find a low minimum charge noise of q(n) approximate to 2 x 10(-5) e/root Hz at a frequency of 4.4 kHz. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S0021-8979(99)05815-6].
