  • Abstract
    The electron counting capacitance standard is a challenging experiment in attempt to close the metrological triangle with a sub-ppm uncertainty. This progress report describes the status of the METAS activities in this field. A new single electron transistor bias electronics has been developed and characterized by noise measurement using Allan deviation. In addition, SET electrometers were characterized, demonstrating the functionality of the setup.
