MOLECULAR ELECTRONIC DEVICE HAVING ELECTRODE INCLUDING CONDUCTIVE POLYMER ELECTRODE LAYER

摘要

A molecular electronic device with an electrode including a conductive polymer electrode layer is provided to embody reliable switching element or memory device by efficiently preventing a short-circuiting between electrodes. A molecular electronic device with an electrode including a conductive polymer electrode layer includes a first electrode(110), a functional molecular active layer(140), and a second electrode(130). The functional molecular active layer is assembled on the first electrode and includes an electric active functional group having cyclic compound. The second electrode is formed on the functional molecular active layer. The second electrode includes a conductive polymer electrode layer(122) contacting with the functional molecular active layer and a metal electrode layer(124) formed on the conductive polymer electrode layer. The functional molecular active layer is composed of a single molecular layer.
