We present transport measurements on a lateral triple quantum dot with a star-like geometry [1] in dependence of two different bias voltages applied simultaneously. The structure is made with local anodic oxidation by AFM on a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure, the design allowing to simultaneously measure the conductance along two different paths with two quantum dots in each path. By controlling the potentials via the four gates of the device resonances of two and all three dots can be generated. [2,3] With one lead attached to each dot and using two of the leads as source contacts with two different bias voltages and one lead as a drain contact, novel possibilities arise to study the interaction between the transport paths. For characterization of the system and a better understanding of coupling effects and bias dependent behavior the transport near the triple dot resonance is simulated using the Born-Markov approximation.
