摘要
Logic elements have been demonstrated using single-electron tunnelling transistors. The transistors are biased at different positions in the conductance oscillation cycle so that they are analogous to either n-type or p-type transistors. The circuit operation is stable at a temperature of 1.6 K despite the low gain of thr transistors.
