MASTER OF SCIENCE IN ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER ENGINEERING (FALL 2000 – CURRENT)

 Thesis:

 The electrical properties of molecules have been of considerable interest because of potential applications in molecular electronics. Making good electrical contact to the molecules has been one of the primary problems in such studies. Most of the studies reported to date, use contacts that are in the nano-scale. In order to provide well-understood contacts, it is desirable to extend the studies to macroscopic structures, because it is very likely that those structures will be more robust, are moreover they are easier to fabricate. In this project, we have come up with a macroscopic contact structure in which micron-scale pre-fabricated gold contacts are deposited onto a Self Assembled Layer of molecules. Electrical characterization studies, of various molecules incorporated into these structures have also been done.
