Funded Activity Summary
The Silicon Single Electron Pump: A New World Standard for Electric Current. This project seeks to develop a new ultra-high-precision current standard, providing a missing link in today’s world standards for electrical measurement. Although highly accurate metrological standards are available for both voltage and resistance, there is no equivalent current standard available. The project aims to create nanoelectronic charge-pump devices that can generate a highly accurate output current. This project plans to use silicon-based single-electron-transistor technology to undertake high-precision measurements. The project expects to contribute to the technological basis for a new world current standard.Funded Activity Details
