Title:
Temperature measurement using single electron transistors
Agreement Value:
$25,000.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 26, 2020 - Mar 31, 2021
Description:
Designs for devices that use the atomic silicon quantum dot technique will be determined. This design will attempt to tailor the SET array to optimize the size and arrangement of the SETs and the associated connections so that the capacitance and consequently the charge energy, Ec, make its operation as a CBT at high temperatures possible. The method to interface the SET to the macro-world to enable the measurement of the temperature-dependant electrical conductance change will be developed.
Organization:
National Research Council Canada
Expected Results:
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators.

Program:
Collaborative Science, Technology and Innovation Program – Ideation Fund
Program Purpose:
The Ideation Fund is intended to encourage, test and validate transformative research ideas generated by teams of NRC scientific personnel and external collaborators with complementary capabilities, acting as a demonstration phase for a continually-evolving suite of research and development (R&D) deliverables at the NRC. The fund supports exploratory research through two mechanisms: the New Beginnings Initiative and the Small Teams Initiative.
