The applications of current technologies such as mechanical break junction, electromigration, shadow mask lithography, focused ion beam deposition, chemical and electrochemical plating, electron-beam lithography, in fabricating vacant junction electrodes are briefly described. For biomolecular sensing applications, the size of the junction electrodes must be small enough to allow the biomolecule inserted into the junction space to connect both leads to keep the molecules in a relaxed and undistorted state. A significant advantage of using Metal-molecule-metal junction electrodes devices is that the junction can be characterized with and without the molecule in place. Any electrical artifacts introduced by the electrode fabrication process are more easily deconvoluted from the intrinsic properties of the molecule. 2014-02-24T04:37:31Z 2014-02-24T04:37:31Z 2012-12 Article Advanced Materials Research, vol.626, 2012, pages 867-877 1022-6680 http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/32125 http://www.scientific.net/AMR.626.867 en Scientific.Net
