As an alternative to the conventional split-gate approach, quantum dots can be created in the 2dim electron gas of a GaAs/AlGaAs-heterostructure by using continuous metallic gates in combination with a resist pattern. The resist marks out regions in which the gate voltage Vg is screened from the electron gas. Using this technique, multiple structures can be defined by a single gate. At high negative gate voltages, the screening breaks down and the gate region turns into a tunable barrier. We have investigated C-methyl-calix[4]resorcinarene as a novel high resolution negative resist for electron beam lithography, which has excellent properties for the envisaged applications. A single quantum dot was fabricated via a dot-shaped resist pattern crossed by three continuous gates. Transport measurements show Coulomb blockade oscillations, which at high |Vg| change into the characteristics of a double dot with decreasing interdot coupling.
