We will show how a combination of lithographic methods on organic self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) can be used to form chemically well-defined, patterned surfaces. These surfaces can form the basis of nanometer-scale, molecular electronic devices. The talk will focus on (1)the engineering and the chemistry behind nanometer scale lithography on SAMs including an assessment of its strengths and limitations, (2) why the control of chemical functionality is so important for a true, nanometer-scale process and (3) demonstration of new, molecular electronic behaviors with potential applicability in devices.
