Abstract:
1. A molecular electronics arrangement comprising: a substrate; at least one first interconnect, which has a surface and which is arranged in or on the substrate; a spacer arranged on the surface of the at least one first interconnect, the spacer partly covers the surface of the at least one first interconnect; at least one second interconnect arranged on the spacer, the second interconnect has a surface areally opposite to the surface of the at least one first interconnect, the spacer partly covering the surface of the at least one second interconnect, and a predetermined distance between the at least one first interconnect and the at least one second interconnect being defined by means of the spacer; and molecular electronic molecules arranged between an uncovered region of the surface of the at least one first interconnect and an uncovered region of the surface of the at least one second interconnect such that one part of each molecular electronic molecule is coupled to the at least one first interconnect and another part of each molecular electronic molecule is coupled to the at least one second interconnect, the molecular electronic molecule having a length that is essentially equal to the distance between the at least one first interconnect and the at least one second interconnect.
