Planar atomic and molecular scale devices | PAMS


Funding period:Jan. 1, 2013 to Dec. 31, 2017
Agency: European Union

We acknowledge funding by the European Union project "Planar atomic and molecular scale devices" (PAMS)


Description

The PAMS project will explore all scientific and technological aspects of the fabrication of planar atomic and sub-molecular scale electronic devices on surfaces of Si:H, Ge:H, AlN, CaCO3 (calcite) and CaF2 with atomic scale precision and reproducibility.
The sub-nanoscale devices will be made by combining ultraprecise Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) and non-contact‚ÄãAtomic Force Microscopy (NC-AFM) atomic and molecular manipulation, including hydrogen extraction from passivated surfaces, controlled local doping and on-surface chemical synthesis of molecular devices and wires by coupling of precursors. PAMS will develop new solutions to reliably address sub-nanometer scale devices from the human scale by developing a new generation of low-temperature interconnection and manipulation machines comprising four STM/NC-AFM heads with sub-angstrem precision, allowing for contacting nanopads connected to dangling bond nanowires, doped silicon nanowires or molecular nanowires.
