Calculation of Characteristics of the Single Electron Transistor
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper will show that the characteristics of Single Electron Transistor (SET) may be calculated. In the model of SET, the electrons are transferred one-by-one through the energy potential barriers by tunneling and a quantum dot is formed between two barriers. By determining the wave functions in the regions, we have calculated the transfer coefficient of SET. The other characteristics of SET as, currents through the Source and Drain regions, electron density in the quantum dots and I-V characters are also calculated and investigated.
