Abstract
A single-electron tunneling transistor has been directly coupled on-chip to a high electron mobility transistor. The high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) is used as an impedance matching circuit with a gain close to unity. The HEMT transformed the 1.4 MΩ output impedance of the single electron tunneling (SET) transistor by two orders of magnitude down to 5 kΩ, increasing its bandwidth to 50 kHz. This circuit makes it possible to observe the motion of individual electrons at high frequencies. The requirements for the bandwidth in high frequency applications is discussed.
