摘要：

We investigate the influence of both size disorder and background charge disorder, on the Coulomb blockade voltage of two-dimensional arrays of metallic quantum dots for varying array size. Both the mean blockade voltage and its variation are considered for several array sizes with varying degrees of disorder. Design rules for devices using those arrays are derived.
