Abstract

A method manufactures a single electron transistor device by electro-migration of nanocluster wherein said nanoclusters are metallically passivated and forced to assembly over a lithographic patterned substrate under control of a non homogeneous electric field at room temperature. A controlled migration and the desired location of the metallic passivated nanoclusters are based on a dielectrophoretic process.
