Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a single electron device (80) by electro-migration of nanoclusters (52). The inventive method comprises the steps of:
patterning a substrate (10, 40); preparing metallic passivated nanoclusters (52); forcing the metallic passivated nanoclusters (52) to assembly over the patterned substrate (10) under control of a non homogeneous electric field.
The invention also relates to a single electron device comprising a quantum dot as single electron component.
