Synthesis of covalently linked molecular bridges between silicon electrodes in CMOS-based arrays of vertical Si/SiO 2/Si nanogaps (2011)
Journal Article

Silicon nanogaps were bridged in situ by grafting 4-ethynylbenzaldehyde to activate the electrodes and coupling 2,6-diaminoanthra-9,10-quinone to link the coatings. The bridged structures exhibit currents of 11-14 nA at 1 V. The process is reversed b...
