<p>In this work, we simulated and modeled silicon quantum dot based single electron transistor (SET). We simulated the device using non-equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) formalism in transport direction coupled with Schrodinger equation in transverse directions. The characteristics of SET such as Coulomb blockade and Coulomb diamonds were observed. We also present a new efficient model to calculate the current voltage (IV) characteristics of the SET. The IV characteristic achieved from the model are very similar to those from simulations both in shape and magnitude. The proposed model is capable of reproducing the Coulomb diamond diagram in good agreement with the simulations. The model, which is based on transmission spectrum, is simple, efficient and provides insights on the physics of the device. The transmission spectrum at equilibrium is achieved from simulations and given as input to the model. The model then calculates the evolved transmission spectra at non-equilibrium conditions and evaluates the current using Landauers formula.</p>

Abstract SET is important in the field of nanoelectronics since a decade. This paper presents electrical characteristic of Single-Electron Transistor (SET) with Aluminum Island using Neural Network. The I-V characteristic of the Single-Electron Transistor (SET) is predicted according to different parameters (VG, T, VD, C, and R). The simulation process is based on analytical transistor model and neural network transistor model. Single Electron Transistor (SET) is the simplest device in which the effect of Coulomb blockade can be observed.

The present paper discusses the investigation of electronic properties of anthracene-based single electron transistor (SET) operating in coulomb blockade region using Density Functional Theory (DFT) based Atomistix toolkit-Virtual nanolab. The charging energies of anthracene molecule in isolated as well as electrostatic SET environments have been calculated for analyzing the stability of the molecule for different charge states. Study also includes the analysis of SET conductance dependence on source/drain and gate potentials in reference to the charge stability diagram. Our computed charging energies for anthracene in isolated environment are in good agreement with the experimental values and the proposed anthracene SET shows good switching properties in comparison to other acene series SETs.
