BACKGROUND Additional Technologies by these Inventors Tech ID/UC Case 10257/2002-421-0 Related Cases 2002-421-0
In current vertical gate-depleted single electron transistors, the mesa must be etched to the point just below the tunneling barrier. In addition, the gate Schottky contact must wrap the pillar containing the tunneling barriers. These requirements considerably complicate the processing of these devices.
