Multi-Level Self Organization Process For A Parallel Fabrication Of Aligned Metal Structures In Microelectrode Gaps Using DNA And Metal Nanoparticles

摘要

A fabrication scheme for the generation of metal nanostructures integrated in microelectrode gap arrays has been developed. The scheme uses self-organization of molecular units such as long DNA and metal nanoparticles based on specific interactions. Thereby, it is open for parallelization as a typical requirement for future application of this approach. The assembly process is explained and demonstrated, and the results of ultramicroscopic characterization is presented.
