- the present inventors assembled a single-electron transistor (SET) by introducing chemically synthesized gold nanoparticles into a nanogap electrode produced by electroless gold plating, and set an integrated circuit that operates at room temperature. (Non-patent Document 1).
- Non-Patent Document 2 a nanogap electrode having a gap length of 5 nm or less was successfully produced with a yield of 90% (Non-Patent Document 2), and further, a “molecular ruler electroless gold plating method using a surfactant molecule as a template” "(Molecular Ruler Electroless Gold Plating: MoREGP) has been developed and a technology for producing a nanogap electrode having a gap length of 2 nm with good reproducibility has been established (Patent Document 1).
- the details of the structure of the nanogap electrode produced by the technique of Patent Document 1, particularly the details of the cross-sectional structure, are not known, which has hindered the creation of devices using the nanogap electrode.

図1は、本発明の第1実施形態に係る電極対を示し、(A)は(B)のX1-X1線に沿う断面図であり、(B)は平面図である。本発明の実施形態に係る電極対10は、一方の電極12Aと他方の電極12Bとがギャップ17を有して向かい合うように同一面上に設けられて構成されており、一方の電極12Aと他方の電極12Bとの向かい合う部分が、互いに近づくにつれてその面から遠ざかるように湾曲している。以下、その面が基板11の表面である場合を例にとって説明する。
前述した電極対10,20を用いたデバイス10A,20Aを説明する。ここでのギャップ17はナノサイズを有するように設定されるので、ギャップ17が「ナノギャップ」と呼ばれ、そのような電極対が「ナノギャップ電極」と呼ばれる。図1及び図2に点線で示すように、ギャップ17間に、金属ナノ粒子や機能性分子(「機能性分子」は「機能分子」とも呼ばれる。)18を配置し、その金属ナノ粒子や機能性分子18及び電極12上に絶縁層13を設ける。絶縁層13を絶縁層11Bと区別するために、絶縁層11Bを第1の絶縁層と呼び、絶縁層13を第2の絶縁層と呼ぶことがある。さらに、図1及び図2に示すように、金属ナノ粒子や機能性分子18に対して電位を印加するために、第2の絶縁層13上にトップゲート19を設け、一方の電極12A及び他方の電極Bと同一面上にサイドゲート(図示せず)を設ける。これにより、金属ナノ粒子18と電極12との間にトンネル接合が形成され、トップゲート19やサイドゲートにより金属ナノ粒子の電位を調整することができ、単電子デバイスが構成される。また、機能性分子18として例えばフラーレンを配置すれば、分子デバイスが構成される。このようにナノギャップ電極を利用したナノデバイスを提供することができる。
次に、本発明の各実施形態に係るナノギャップ電極の作製方法について説明する。以下では図2に示すナノギャップ電極を例にとって説明する。
第1ステップ:半導体基板11A上に第1の絶縁層11Bを形成する。
第2ステップ:第1の絶縁層11B上に、密着層14A,14Bを形成する。
第3ステップ:無電解メッキ法により電極対を形成し、その後必要に応じて分子定規無電解メッキ法によりギャップ長が所定の値になるようにギャップ長を狭める。
メッキは次のように行う。8mlの超純水を測り取り、8μl(マイクロリットル)のメッキ原液を加え、サンプルを所望の時間、室温下でメッキ液に浸漬させる。メッキ原液に対する超純水の希釈割合は1対1000となる。このサンプルを取り出し、超純水でのリンス、アセトンボイル、エタノールボイルを行い、窒素ガンでサンプルをブローする。このメッキプロセスを2回繰り返すにより、ヨウ素無電解メッキ法を用いて、種電極層にメッキを施す。
比較例として次のようなサンプルを作製した。
最初に、実施例と同様に、シリコン基板11A上にシリコン酸化膜11Bを全面に設けた基板11を用意し、密着層14A,14B,14C,14Dとして2nmのTi層を形成し、密着層14A,14B,14C,14D上にAuを10nm蒸着して、種電極層を作製した。
ヨウ素メッキの際のメッキ原液の希釈の割合は、500倍~2000倍が好ましい。
分子定規無電解の塩化金酸の濃度は、0.1mM~0.5mMが好ましい。
