Abstract

We have built a prototype capacitance standard based on single-electron tunneling (SET) devices and a cryogenic vacuum-gap capacitor. We are currently involved in a thorough uncertainty analysis of the prototype, and we are preparing to make a direct comparison with the calculable capacitor at NIST.
