Abstract
We report progress in the development of a 7-junction electron pump for use in a new capacitance standard. Cross capacitance in the pump has been reduced with a new geometry of islands and gates. Stray capacitance and charge noise have been reduced by using a quartz substrate. With these and other improvements the pump has become a relatively easy-to-operate cryoelectronic device.
