Resonant Photocurrent at 1550 nm in an Erbium Low-Doped Silicon Transistor at Room Temperature

Enrico Prati, Michele Celebrano, Lavinia Ghirardini +8 more

We report on the photocurrent induced by 1550 nm laser irradiation in a Er-doped micron-scale silicon transistor. The erbium defects, activated in the channel of the transistor thanks to oxygen codoping, make it possible to observe a resonant photocurrent at telecom wavelength and at room temperature by using a supercontinuum laser source working in the μW range. By exploiting a back-gate, the transistor is tuned to exploit only the electrons lying in the Er-O states. We estimate a relatively small number of photoexcited atoms (-4×104) making Er-dpoed silicon a candidate for designing resonance-based frequency selective single photon detectors at 1550 nm for quantum communications.

Radio-frequency operation of a double-island single-electron transistor

R. Brenner, Tilo M. Buehler, D. J. Reilly

We present results on a double-island single-electron transistor (DISET) operated at radio frequency (rf) for the fast and highly sensitive detection of charge motion in the solid state. Using an intuitive definition for the charge sensitivity, we compare a DISET to a conventional single-electron transistor (SET). We find that a DISET can be more sensitive than a SET for identical, minimum device resistances in the Coulomb blockade regime. This is of particular importance for rf operation, where ideal impedance matching to 50-Ω transmission lines is only possible for a limited range of device resistances. We report a charge sensitivity of 5.6×10−6e∕Hz for a rf-DISET, together with a demonstration of the single-shot detection of small (⩽0.1e) charge signals on microsecond time scales.
