Abstract

A molecular electronic device, and a method of fabricating the same, includes a first electrode having a plurality of prominences and depressions on which a plurality of molecules are self-assembled. Capacitance of a molecular electronic device used as a capacitor is increased by forming prominences and depressions on the surface of the first electrode thereby enabling more molecules to be self-assembled on the surface of the lower electrode.
