Noise in Al single electron transistors of stacked design

Abstract

We have fabricated and examined several Al single electron transistors whose small islands were positioned on top of a counter electrode and hence did not come into contact with a dielectric substrate. The equivalent charge noise figure of all transistors turned out to be surprisingly low, (2.5 - 7)*10E-5 e/sqrt(Hz) at f = 10 Hz. Although the lowest detected noise originates mostly from fluctuations of background charge, the noise contribution of the tunnel junction conductances was, on occasion, found to be dominant.
