We present an approach to fabricate single-electron devices consisting of a silicon quantum dot (QD) between metallic leads. Silicon QDs are obtained by reactive ion etching into a silicon-on-insulator substrate partially protected by a self-assembled etch mask. Electrodes are fabricated and aligned to the QDs by an electromigration process whereby their native oxide serves as tunneling barrier. The devices show Coulomb blockade corresponding to a charging energy of 19.4 meV and can be switched from the nonconducting to a conducting state giving rise to Coulomb diamonds. The behavior is well reproduced by a numerical orthodox theory calculation.
