摘要: We have numerically studied the single-charge transfer operation in two-dimensional (2D) random-multidot-channel field-effect transistors (FETs) using orthodox theory of Coulomb blockade phenomenon. The randomness multidot structure is reflected gate capacitance (Cg) equivalent circuit, embodying dot-size disorder realistic devices developed our laboratory. It was found that “turnstile operation” meaning individual electron transferred one by from source to drain with a cycle an alternating voltage can be performed both random and homogeneous 2D multidot-channel FETs, although their circuits are significantly different ordinary four-junction turnstile device. By increasing Cg randomness, some show average bias condition (Vg0,Vd) which allows more relaxed. Consequently, FET work as single-electron
