Abstract
For the development of molecular electronics, it is desirable to investigate characteristics of organic molecules with electronic device functionalities. In near future, such molecular devices could be integrated with silicon to prepare hybrid nanoelectronic devices. In this paper, we review work done in our laboratory on study of characteristics of some functional molecules. For these studies molecular mono and multilayers have been deposited on silicon surface by self-assembly and electrochemical deposition techniques. Both commercially available and specially designed and synthesized molecules have been utilized for these investigations. We demonstrate dielectric layers, memory, switching, rectifier and negative differential resistance devices based on molecular mono and multilayers.
