Abstract
Cooling of electrons in a heavily doped silicon by quasiparticle tunneling using a superconductor-semiconductor-superconductor double-Schottky-junction structure is demonstrated at low temperatures. In this work, we use Al as the superconductor and thin silicon-on-insulator (SOI) film as the semiconductor. The electron-phonon coupling is measured for the SOI film and the low value of the coupling is shown to be the origin of the observed significant cooling effect.
