Abstract

The key to realizing high performance organic devices using conjugated polymers is the successful fabrication of a highly organized structure on a surface on a single molecule scale. Here, we have demonstrated a unique single-molecule processing-technique using electrochemistry, called ‘electrochemical epitaxial polymerization’. This technique is based on the step-by-step electropolymerization of a monomer along a lattice of iodine on a gold electrode surface to form single conjugated-polymer wires by applying voltage pulses to a monomer-electrolyte solution. By using this technique, we have succeeded in building a uniform high-density array of single conjugated-polymer wires on an electrode as long as 200 nm, controlling the wire’s density, length and direction. This first observation will open the door to the mass-production of single molecule-scale devices using conjugated polymers.
