Single electron transistor (SET) is a novel idea and has been intensively studied. This review gives a general picture of SET, such as its mechanism, fabrication, application and problems faced.
During 1980s, the main discoveries in mesoscopic physics are the tunneling of single electron and Coulomb blockade phenomena, which make many scientists predict that if the size of the quantum dots is reduced to several nanometers, it is highly possible to produce applicable single electron transistor (SET) which works above liquid nitrogen temperature, and this will bring a revolution to electronic science. Since then SET has been a hot research area. The breakthrough of nanotech as well as its successful combination with semiconductor technologies gives hope to SET, and some think that it will be a mature technique in the coming decade.
