Abstract

Abstract Image

Lack of an appropriate method for wiring molecules that have controlled functions and structures has been a barrier for the development of molecular devices. We developed an interconnect method to program three kinds of component molecules with their own functions and to wire a molecular device in a self-organized manner. By using the interconnect method we developed, we produced conductive wires and optical switching devices and have demonstrated their device functions. Our interconnect method allows us to control various molecular device characteristics by combining the three molecules.
