Notes:
We present the experimental characterization of a leadless (floating) double-dot system and a leadless quantum-dot cellular automata cell, where aluminum metal islands are connected to the environment only by capacitors. Here, single electron charge transfer can be accomplished only by the exchange of an electron between the dots. The charge state of the dots is monitored using metal islands configured as electrometers. We show improvements in the cell performance relative to leaded dots, and discuss possible implications of our leadless design to the quantum-dot cellular automata logic implementation. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
