Résumé
Abstract

L'électronique moléculaire est envisagée en tant que candidat prometteur pour la nanoélectronique du futur. Plus qu'une réponse possible au problème ultime de miniaturisation en nanoélectronique, l'électronique moléculaire est envisagée comme une approche possible et raisonnable pour assembler un grand nombre d'objets nanométriques (des molécules, des nanoparticules, des nanotubes et des nanofils) pour étudier de nouvelles architectures de composant et circuit. C'est également une approche intéressante pour réduire de manière significative les coûts de fabrication, aussi bien que les coûts énergétiques de calcul, comparés aux technologies habituelles à semi-conducteur. Par ailleurs, l'électronique moléculaire présente un large champ d'investigation : des objets quantique, pour examiner de nouveaux paradigmes, aux dispositifs hybrides moléculaire–silicium CMOS.

Molecular electronics is envisioned as a promising candidate for the nanoelectronics of the future. More than a possible answer to the ultimate miniaturization problem in nanoelectronics, molecular electronics is foreseen as a possible and reasonable way to assemble a large numbers of nanoscale objects (molecules, nanoparticles, nanotubes and nanowires) to form new devices and circuit architectures. It is also an interesting approach to significantly reduce the fabrication costs, as well as the energetical costs of computation, compared to usual semiconductor technologies. Moreover, molecular electronics is a field with a large spectrum of investigations: from quantum objects for testing new paradigms, to hybrid molecular-silicon CMOS devices.
