Abstract

We investigate the influence of high frequency microwave radiation on single electron tunneling through a quantum dot. Effective coupling of the radiation to the quantum dot is achieved by an on-chip integrated broadband antenna. Simulations of the current distribution on the antenna are shown. We find that radiation with a frequency of ν=155 GHz, which corresponds to half of the bare charging energy Ec/2 results in an additional conductance peak within the Coulomb blockade regime. This additional resonance is attributed to photon-assisted tunneling.
