Abstract:
We report observation of the Kondo effect in the Coulomb blockade oscillations of an impurity quantum dot (IQD). This IQD is formed in the channel of a 100 nm gate length Silicon MOSFET. The quantitative analysis of the anomalous temperature and voltage dependence for the drain-source current over a series of Coulomb blockade oscillations is performed. It strongly supports the Kondo explanation for the conductance behavior at very low temperature in this standard microelectronics device.
