Molecular nanoelectronics: The course consists of three parts. The first part deals with basic principles of classical electronics: construction and operational properties of basic active components (diodes, bipolar transistors, FET transistors), structure and fabrication technology of monolithic integrated circuits. Technological and physical limits of classical electronic semiconducting devices are also included in this part. The second part is mostly devoted to synthesis, properties and electronic structure of molecular precursors used in molecular electronics (fullerenes, porphyrins, phthalocyanines, policenes, tetrathiafulvalenes and carbon nanotubes). Properties critical for applications of these materials in electronics are especially emphasized. The third part of the course discusses techniques used for fabrication and investigation of nqnoelectronic structures using single molecules and thin layers. Organic field effect transistors (OFET), organic photovoltaic systems and molecular optoelectronic switches are described in detail. |
