This book reviews research on single-electron devices and
circuits in silicon. These devices provide a means to control
electronic charge at the one-electron level and are promising systems
for the development of few-electron, nanoscale electronic circuits. The
book considers the design, fabrication, and characterization of
single-electron transistors, single-electron memories, few-electron
transfer devices such as electron pumps and turnstiles, and
single-electron logic devices. A review of the many different
approaches used for the experimental realisation of these devices is
provided and devices developed during the author's own research are
used as detailed examples. An introduction to the physics of
single-electron charging effects is included.
