Abstract :
The quantum voltmeter has been further developed towards a compact and easy-to-use system. Optimised 1 V SINIS series arrays generate steps of constant voltage whose width exceeds 1 mA. A new and improved design for 10 V arrays is under development, with the investigations described here serving as a basis.
