Abstract

A single-electron device includes a substrate, an insulating film provided on the substrate, a plurality of nanometer-size conductive particles formed in the insulating film along an interface between the substrate and the insulating film, and an electrode provided on the insulating film, wherein the conductive particles have a generally identical size and arranged substantially in a plane at a depth closer to the substrate.
