Nowadays, many researchers have proposed the next-generation transistors toward 3nm technology node to obtain a good on/off ratio. We have reported single molecular resonant tunneling transistor (SMRT²) operation based on rigid π-conjugated molecule and hemispheric electroless Au plated (H-ELGP) Pt-based nanogap electrodes. Here, we introduce Si-bridged quinoidal fused oligosilole derivative (Si-2*2) which has a 34 π-conjugated molecular structure with four silicon atoms depicted in Figure 1. Si-2*2 is a strong candidate of functional group for molecular transistors due to structural stability for change in the valence charge.
Si-2*2 was bridged between hemispheric electroless Au-plated (H-ELGP) nanogap Pt electrodes through thiol groups at the both ends. Gate voltage dependence of I_d-V_d characteristics are shown in Figure 2. I_d-V_d characteristics are symmetrical to the V_d = 0, extremely high current, and clearly depended on gate voltage. These results indicate the operations of the bridged single molecular resonant tunneling transistor.
