We have experimentally investigated the higher-order correction terms for Coulomb blockade thermometry using two-dimensional arrays of small tunnel junctions and compared our results to the theory for one-dimensional arrays. We find that the correction term for the conductance dip is two times smaller, whereas the correction term for the half-width has a slightly higher value than the theoretical prediction.
