摘要：

A compact single-electron memory cell has been fabricated in silicon using a process that is compatible with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor circuit fabrication. The device is based on the Coulomb blockade effect observed in highly doped silicon nanowires. The circuit shows clear memory operation with a >100 mV gap between "0" and "1" levels when tested at a temperature of 4.2 K. The response of the circuit to write and erase pulse sequences is also presented. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(98)02041-5].
