Abstract(in English) We have numerically studied the single-charge transfer operation by two-dimensional (2D) random-multidot-channel field-effect transistors (FETs) using orthodox theory of the Coulomb blockade phenomenon. The randomness of the multidot structure is reflected in the gate capacitance (C_g) in the equivalent circuit, embodying the dot-size disorder of the realistic devices. It was found that "turnstile operation" meaning that individual electron is transferred one by one from the source to the drain with a cycle of an alternating gate voltage can be performed in both random and homogeneous 2D multidot-channel FETs. By increasing the C_g randomness, some devices show that the average gate and drain bias condition which allows the turnstile operation is more relaxed. Consequently, the random-mulidot-channel FET can work as a single-electron turnstile device.
