A detailed comparison between theory and experiment is used to demonstrate the presence of self‐heating in the Coulomb‐blockade electrometer. When three different heating models are considered, the best fit with experimental electrometer characteristics is obtained for a model in which the electron temperature of the island electrode is determined by heat transfer to the lattice via electron‐phonon coupling. In the successful model, the temperature Ti of the island electrons is related to the power Pi dissipated in the island and the temperature Tl of the phonons by Pi=ΣΩ(Ti5−Tl5), where Σ is an electron‐phonon coupling parameter characteristic of the island material and Ω is the volume of the island. The best fit between theory and experiment yields a value of Σ=0.2 nW/K5/μm3 for the electron‐phonon coupling in aluminum. Our calculations show that the electron temperature of the island commonly exceeds 100 mK even when the lattice remains at 35 mK.
