The first Internal Meeting of the Large European Project PAMS - Planar Atomic and Molecular Scale Devices - will be held at CIQUS in April 1st and 2nd. The project main objective is to develop electronic devices of nanometric-scale size, in order to get the extreme miniaturization of the equipment used in information technology and communication.
The PAMS project, with a total budget over 9 million Euros, will explore all scientific and technological aspects of the fabrication of planar atomic and sub-molecular scale electronic devices on insulator and semiconductor surfaces with atomic scale precision and reproducibility. The sub-nanoscale devices will be made by combining on-surface chemical synthesis of molecular devices and wires with ultra-precise Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) and non-contact Atomic Force Microscopy (NC-AFM).
The responsible at USC is Professor Diego Peña, who along with Enrique Guitián and Dolores Pérez lead the COMMO research group, which is specialized in the synthesis of large aromatic molecules and nanographenes. They will be responsible for preparing and supplying molecular components to the rest of the consortium, which will address their assembly and the study of their properties and performance.
