Problems solved by technology

For example, electroplating and electroless plating both reduce the gap by the online deposition and growth of metal on the electrode pair, but at the same time increase the surface thickness and lateral width of the electrode, and the electroplating method is in the process of preparing the prototype electrode. Both ends need lead wires to apply voltage, which is only suitable for carrying out individual operations to specific devices; the electromigration method not only needs lead wires at both ends of the prototype electrode to be electrically connected, but also has higher requirements for the prototype electrode pair (the prior art is all Electron beam etching is used to prepare its prototype electrode structure), the gap between the prototype electrode pair should not be too large, usually in the quasi-nano or sub-micron scale

Abstract

An outer electric field induced orientation deposition method for preparing nm gaps relates to a processing technology, including the following steps: preparing an original electrode with a micrometer or sub-micrometer gap by ordinary photo-etching, assembling double-function molecules 'X-R-Y' chemical plating initiator of chemisorption to make the electrode surface with catalytic activity, putting the original electrode in a chemical plating solution and applying an outer discrete alternate electric field along the electrode couple direction to synchronously induce metals to prior deposit and orient-grow on the top of the electro-couple to reduce the gap of electrodes.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a nano-structure processing technology, in particular to a method for preparing a nano-gap combined with an external discrete electric field-induced orientation deposition, and belongs to the technical field of nano-device processing. Background technique [0002] Nanoelectronic devices, whose characteristic size is within the nanoscale (1-100nm), no longer follow the basic operating laws of traditional microelectronics, and the volatility and quantum effects of electrons will play an important role in such devices. For example, the core component of a double-junction single-electron transistor composed of a double-tunnel junction and a Coulomb island is a nano-gap electrode. Since the electrode spacing is reduced to the nanometer level, the potential barrier formed by the tunnel junction between the source / drain and the island and the potential well (ie Coulomb island) between the barriers are very small, and the electrons mai...
