Abstract

We report transport measurements through an in-plane-gate quantum dot transistor (IPGQDT). Our IPGQDT has etched trench isolation between the two-dimensional electron gas QD and IPGs, and it operates in enhancement mode. At relatively small IPG biases, we observe negative differential resistance (NDR) in the current-voltage characteristics. The position of the NDR peak is controlled systematically by the change of the IPG bias. At large biases, the IPGQDT exhibits single-electron tunneling. All of these transport data are not sample specific and consistent with the size of the QD.
