Anchoring Molecular Magnets on the Si(100) Surface

“…Nevertheless any synthetic strategy towards such molecules remains useless for molecular devices unless they are ordered in a suitable and accessible way so that their state can be probed. The most promising architecture in molecular electronics is a hybrid system in which a dense array of molecular devices is hosted on a silicon‐based microelectronic circuit 2…”

Density Control of Dodecamanganese Clusters Anchored on Silicon(100)

“…[1] The most promising architecture for molecular electronics is found in hybrid systems, in which a dense array of molecular devices is hosted on a silicon surface. [2] Monolayer formation, by self-assembling processes, on silicon surfaces certainly represents the most suitable route to developing hybrid systems. [3] Some molecules can be used to store magnetic information.…”

Terascale integration via a redesign of the crossbar based on a vertical arrangement of poly-Si nanowires

“…This fact explains by itself the interest of technologies for the cost-effective preparation of nanowire arrays. This work will demonstrate that the recessed re-gions which are unavoidably formed during the selective etching of multilayered films [10] may be exploited for the preparation of nanowire arrays with larger density than the currently achievable one. …”

“…Crossbar structures are widely believed to meet the requirements of high bit density along with sustainable interconnection complexity avoiding the dramatic cost increase of the manufacturing facilities required by advanced lithography. In this work we demonstrate the possibility of producing poly-Si nanowires preserving bulk electrical properties and nonetheless so dense as to allow cross-point density in excess of 10 11 cm −2 . This result could be achieved by organizing silicon nanowires in nearly vertical arrays.…”
