  • Abstract
    Single electron transport was studied by using a designed mesoscopic structure in a Si-MOSFET with a dual-gate structure. Both the electron concentration and the potential barrier height in the narrow channel can be controlled by the field effect. The successive transformation of the quantum wire into coupled quantum dots was achieved in this device. The measured transport properties were consistent with the Coulomb blockade of the single electron tunneling.<>
