Rectifying operation beyond the conventional cutoff
frequency of single-electron transistors (SETs) [1] is
due to asymmetry in the tunneling rate with respect
to drain voltage, which is responsible for asymmetry
in the drain current, resulting in rectification [2].
Heavily doped Si nanowire-based SET is used for
verifying it experimentally (Fig. 1).
