D. and Kakooei, S.}, abstract = {In this study, a simple technique was introduced for the fab-ication of nanogap electrodes by using nano-oxidation scanning probe microscopy lithography with a Cr/Pt coated silicon tip. Silicon electrodes with a gap of sub-31 nm were fabricated successfully by this technique. The current-voltage measurements (I-V) of the electrodes demonstrated excellent insulating characteristics. This technique is simple, controllable, inexpensive, and faster than common methods. The results showed that silicon electrodes have a great potential for the fabrication of single molecule transistors, single electron transistors, and other nanoe ectronic devices. {\^A}{\copyright} 2011 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).}, keywords = {Fabrication; Scanning probe microscopy, Current-voltage measurements; Nano-oxidation; Nanogap electrodes; Silicon electrode; Silicon tips; Single-molecule transistor, Electrodes}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84860745763&doi=10.1117\%2f1.3643480&partnerID=40&md5=360db307ef4fcbbbc72c5c734a1d438a} }
