This talk will exemplify our ongoing interest and great effort in developing efficient lithographic methodologies capable of creating molecular electronic devices through the combination of top-down micro/nanofabrication with bottom-up molecular assembly.These devices use nanogapped carbon nanomaterials(such as single-walled carbon nanotubes(SWNTs)and graphene)as point contacts formed by electron beam lithography and precise oxygen plasma etching.Through robust amide linkages,functional molecular bridges terminated with diamine moieties are covalently wired into the carboxylic acid-functionalized nanogaps to form stable carbon electrode-molecule junctions with desired functionalities.
