Abstract

We have demonstrated the operation of, and are assessing theoretically and experimentally the error rates of, silicon-based single-electron turnstiles, pumps, and CCDs. These devices are conceptually very similar to the metal-based single-electron pumps which have already proven to have a very low error rate; potentially, they have several substantial advantages, including higher current value, higher temperature of operation, and simpler operation
