TRANSISTORSA transistor is a three terminal,
semiconductor device which can be used for numerous purposes including signal modulation, amplification, voltage stabilization, and many others applications
Transistors are mostly used as switching devices in various circuits.

A new field- Single ElectronicsThough the research stated in this field in
late 80’s, this field has still ways to go.
This field deals with the devices where we are able to control the movement and position of a single electron or a small number of electrons.

COULOMB BLOCKADE
The increase in resistance around zero bias i.e. the obstruction to the path of flow of electron is called coulomb blockade.

CONDITIONS FOR COULOMB BLOCKADEThe bias voltage must be lower than
the elementary charge divided by the self-capacitance of the island:
Vbias < e/C
The thermal kinetic energy of the electron must be less than the Coulomb repulsion energy i.e.
kBT< e2/CThe tunneling resistance Rt should be greater
than h/e2.

SINGLE ELECTRON TRANSISTORSingle electron transistor is one of the most
important single electron device.
1.Three terminals with an island2.Island (30-50nm): A low self capacitance region3.Tuning by a Gate4.Relies on single electron tunneling through a nanoscale junction

WORKING OF SET For an electron to hop onto the island, its energy must equal
the Coulomb energy.
When both the gate and bias voltages are zero, electrons do not have enough energy to enter the island and current does not flow.
As the bias voltage between the source and drain is increased, an electron can pass through the island when the energy in the system reaches the Coulomb energy.

ADVANTAGESETs have very high switching speed as compared to BJTs
and MOSFETS.
SET working as a switching device, with transfer of only one electron, the device can be switched ON or OFF.
SETs have very low power consumption.
