Abstract(in English) This paper describes the room-temperature (RT) demonstration of new highly-functional single-electron transistor (SET) logic based on the quantum mechanical effect in the ultra-small silicon dot. We fabricate single-hole transistors (SHTs) in the form of extremely constricted channel MOSFETs and observe large Coulomb blockade (CB) oscillations with the peak-to-valley current ratio (PVCR) of 10^2 at RT. In the fabricated single-dot SHTs, clear negative differential conductance (NDC) with the PVCR of 11.8 is also observed at RT because of the large quantum level spacing in the ultra-small dot. By utilizing the observed NDC, XOR operation is successfully demonstrated as a current output in just one SHT.
