English

Subject field(s)
  • Printed Circuits and Microelectronics
  • Electronics
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Physics
DEF

Electronics on a molecular scale, dealing with the production of complex circuitry in semiconductor devices.

OBS

Integral elements are processed by growing multi-zoned crystals in a furnace for the ultimate performance of electrical functions.

OBS

Molecular electronics (sometimes called moletronics) is an interdisciplinary theme that spans physics, chemistry, and materials science. The unifying feature of this area is the use of molecular building blocks for the fabrication of electronic components, both passive (e.g. resistive wires) and active (e.g. transistors).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Circuits imprimés et micro-électronique
  • Électronique
  • Intelligence artificielle
  • Physique
DEF

Nouvelle électronique basée sur les «machines moléculaires», conducteurs et processeurs étant obtenus à partir de molécules ou d'ensemble de molécules construites ad hoc.

CONT

L'électronique moléculaire promet des retombées dans les domaines : capteurs chimiques de gaz, biocapteurs, revêtements conducteurs.

CONT

Une autre retombée pratique de l'électronique chimique concerne la mise au point [d'un] capteur de glucose de la taille d'une carte de crédit [ainsi qu'un] capteur de phosphine, composé très employé en électronique.

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Circuitos impresos y microelectrónica
  • Electrónica
  • Inteligencia artificial
  • Física
CONT

El objetivo de la electrónica molecular es construir circuitos electrónicos basados en el uso de moléculas. Para ello se requiere que sus componentes, es decir las moléculas, realicen funciones tales como conducir la electricidad (nanocables) o que sean capaces de funcionar como conectores o interruptores.
