摘要
One of the challenges that single-electron transistors (SETs) face before they can be considered technologically useful is the charge offset drift. Recently, two different types of Si SETs were shown to have a drift of only 0.01e (the fundamental charge) over several days. Those devices came from one fabrication source. Here, we present the results for Si SETs fabricated by our group (a different source) demonstrating their operation as SETs. We confirm that the charge offset drift is less than 0.01e, demonstrating the lack of charge offset drift is generic to Si devices and not dependent on the fabrication source.
