摘要： An improved method of extracting the coupling capacitances of quantum dot structure is reported. This method is based on measuring the charge transfer current in the silicon nanowire metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET), in which the channel closing and opening are controlled by applying alternating-current biases with a half period phase shift to the dual lower gates. The capacitances around the dot, including fringing capacitances and barrier capacitances, are obtained by analyzing the relation between the transfer current and the applied voltage. This technique could be used to extract the capacitance parameters not only from the bulk silicon devices, but also from the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) MOSFETs.
