Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We have investigated the origin of potential profile in Si SETs(single-electron transistors) fabricated using pattern-dependent oxidation (PADOX) making use of the geometric structure measured by AFM, the first-principles calculation and the effective potential method.A probable mechanism of the formation of potential profile responsible for SET operation has been shown.The reduction of width in a wire region produces a tunnel barrier through the quantum-mechanical size effect, while the compressive stress generated during PADOX in the wire region forms a potential well corresponding to an island in the tunnel barrier through the bandgap reduction due to strain.
