Abstract
The fabrication of a germanium quantum-dot (QD) single-electron transistor using complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor-compatible method was proposed. The tunneling currents through the Ge QD were simulated by the Anderson model with two energy levels. The total capacitance of the dot was calculated to be 2.13 aF. The analysis of the current-voltage characteristics indicated that the single-electron addition energy of the Ge QD was about 125 meV.
