Prospects for Molecular Electronics

Prospects for Molecular Electronics The stimulus of the successful semiconductor device miniaturisation programmes coupled to recent progress in synthetic chemistry and molecular engineering has led to the emergence of a new interdisciplinary activitymolecular electronicswhich holds longterm promise for a new range of electronic materials and devices. From very speculative origins the field has begun to generate important applications based on photoresists, LangmuirBlodgett films, electroactive polymers and photochromic materials. A selection of topics ranging from molecular switches, memories, sensors, and the biological interface to prospects for a molecular computer are discussed with special emphasis on features such as stability, selforganisation and selfassembly which are unique to molecular systems. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Microelectronics International Emerald Publishing

Abstract

The stimulus of the successful semiconductor device miniaturisation programmes coupled to recent progress in synthetic chemistry and molecular engineering has led to the emergence of a new interdisciplinary activitymolecular electronicswhich holds longterm promise for a new range of electronic materials and devices. From very speculative origins the field has begun to generate important applications based on photoresists, LangmuirBlodgett films, electroactive polymers and photochromic materials. A selection of topics ranging from molecular switches, memories, sensors, and the biological interface to prospects for a molecular computer are discussed with special emphasis on features such as stability, selforganisation and selfassembly which are unique to molecular systems.
