Lithographically defined p-channel Si single hole transistors (SHTs) and double quantum dot (DQD) devices are fabricated and characterized. Coulomb oscillations are clearly evident at a temperature of 4.2 K. The charging energy and the diameter of the SHT are estimated from the Coulomb diamonds. Honeycomb-like charge stability diagrams are observed from measurements of the DQD devices. Single hole transitions through the DQD are detected using an integrated SHT as a charge sensor, and a few-hole regime of the DQD is observed.
