摘要
We studied transport through ultrasmall Si quantum-dot transistors fabricated from siliconon-insulator wafers. At high temperatures, 4 < T < 100 K, the devices show single-electron or single-hole transport through the lithographically defined dot. At T < 4 K, current through the devices is characterized by multidot transport. From the analysis of the transport in samples with double-dot characteristics, we conclude that extra dots are formed inside the thermally grown gate oxide which surrounds the lithographically defined dot.
