On possibility of binary nanodevices production

Abstract

The work deals with possibilities of molecular level device production for use in binary data storage and in performing basic logical operations needed for binary data processing. Method of obtaining molecular logic gates through bottom-up production approach, that is, the method of transition from liquid state to solid state nanodevices, has been outlined. In addition, methods of obtaining some devices through combination of top-down and bottom-up production methods, that is the methods of building single nano particle transistors, have been depicted. The devices production justification has been considered through their characteristics such as the devices packing density, switching speed, device ease of addressing, device ease of production, and device concatenability.
