Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have developed a reliable method for the mass-production of nanogap electrodes, a crucial aspect of nanoscale electronics. The researchers were able to balance as many as 16 nanogaps using thin sheets of gold and feedback controlled electromigration (FCE) techniques oringinally developed at Penn.
Although there has been great progress in the last several years in creating nano-sized gaps for electronics, until now there has been little movement towards the reproducibility necessary for industrialization. The development represents an important bridge between the basic research on nano-sized structures and hopes for mass-production and commercialization in the future.
