Obiettivo The problem addressed in this project is the lack of instrumentation and knowledge for accurate and traceable measurements (and generation) of electrical currents smaller than one nano-ampere. The manifest trend in microelectronics towards size reduction of circuits imposes a corresponding decrease of electrical currents flowing through circuit elements. This leads to a growing demand in industry for small-current instrumentation. The objective of this proposal is to develop such instrumentation. The technological approach is based on single electron transport (SET) devices. Two complementary SET instruments will be developed: a current source (electron pump) and a current meter (electron counter). These devices are able to accurately count electrons one by one. A European approach is needed and will lead to cohesion in the quality of electrical measurements since all countries will in the longer-term use the same coherent instrumentation.
