Abstract
We propose a single-electron tunnelling thermometer, based on a parall el array of double tunnel junctions, which covers the temperature rang e from about 30 mK to about 4 K. The calibration curve has been derive d analytically, and investigated numerically including co-tunnelling. The influence of background charge, which is a material problem, has a lso been studied.
