Self-assembled monolayer field-effect transistors (SAMFET) are among the latest developments of the relatively new plastic micro-electronics technology. These structures are constructed on organic materials, and also feature electronic components. Creating this type of transistors in a way that is both cost-effective and efficient was a long-pursued goal, which was recently achieved by an international cooperative effort by scientists from the Netherlands, Russia and Austria. The team was able to determine for sure that monolayer coverage and channel length were two of the main factors that triggered the mobility of SAMFET devices, a find that could in the future lead to the creation of far more effective chemical sensors and similar instruments. Details of the find are published in the latest advanced online issue of the respected scientific journal Nature Nanotechnology. Most of the work was conducted at the Philips Research Eindhoven and Eindhoven University of Technolog!
y, in The Netherlands. Philips Research managed to construct a SAMFET in 2008, based on a silicon substrate, which was then immersed into a solution containing liquid crystalline molecules. These molecules self-assembled on the substrate, and the end result was a semi-conductive layer of just a single molecule thick. Experts ...
