Nanoelectronics research activities based on past experiences in discontinuous metal thin films (DMTFs) and electronics packaging, and their application to nanoelectronics, (especially single-electron transistors (SETs) at present.) Early DMTF research [1] has direct application to finite temperature SET conduction and reliability, while more recent theoretical developments [2] have implications for multi-island SET properties. Reliability issues lead directly on to packaging requirements. Current projects include continued conduction modeling of DMTF (and SET) systems, sensor applications, DMTF optical properties, etc., with a focus on the AFM fabrication of reproducible, regular metal nanodot systems, with long-term reliability, on insulating substrates. These systems are comprised of 1 to 10 nm diameter dots with 2 to 5 nm separations.
