Understanding interactions between orbital and valley quantum states in silicon nanodevices is crucial in assessing the prospects of spin-based qubits. We study the energy spectra of a few-electron silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor quantum dot using dynamic charge sensing and pulsed-voltage spectroscopy. The occupancy of the quantum dot is probed down to the single-electron level using a nearby single-electron transistor as a charge sensor. The energy of the first orbital excited state is found to decrease rapidly as the electron occupancy increases from N = 1 to 4. By monitoring the sequential spin filling of the dot we extract a valley splitting of similar to 230 mu eV, irrespective of electron number. This indicates that favorable conditions for qubit operation are in place in the few-electron regime.
