The Effect of Electrostatic Screening on a Nanometer Scale Electrometer

We investigate the effect of electrostatic screening on a nanoscale silicon MOSFET electrometer. We find that screening by the lightly doped p-type substrate, on which the MOSFET is fabricated, significantly affects the sensitivity of the device. We are able to tune the rate and magnitude of the scr...
