Molecular transistors, in which single molecules serve as active channel components in a three-terminal device geometry, constitute the building blocks of molecular scale electronic circuits. To demonstrate such devices, a gate electrode has been incorporated in several test beds of molecular electronics. The frontier orbitals’ alignments of a molecular transistor can be delicately tuned by modifying the molecular orbital energy with the gate electrode. In this review, we described electrostatic gate control of solid-state molecular transistors. In particular, we focus on recent experimental accomplishments in fabrication and characterization of molecular transistors.

分子晶体管中的静电门控制

分子晶体管，其中单个分子充当三端器件几何结构中的有源通道组件，构成了分子规模电子电路的基础。为了演示此类设备，已在分子电子学的多个测试台中结合了栅电极。分子晶体管的前沿轨道排列可以通过用栅电极修改分子轨道能量来进行微调。在这篇综述中，我们描述了固态分子晶体管的静电门控制。特别地，我们专注于分子晶体管的制造和表征方面的最新实验成果。
