Abstract

This chapter presents a short introduction to molecular layer epitaxy (MLE). MLE is a novel vapor-phase self-assembly approach to create molecular nanoelectronic materials, structures, and devices. The main principles of MLE technology and related topics of surface chemistry are introduced to demonstrate the possibilities of vapor-phase self-assembly, which can be used to achieve desired organic structures and chemical functionalities. We describe equipment, which can produce MLE structures, and monitoring methods used to describe growth of organic MLE structures. We demonstrate several devices, which were produced using MLE technology. These include field-effect transistors (MLE-FETs), organic light-emitting diode (MLE-OLED), MLE solar cells, and MLE laser media. The performance of MLE is compared with other technologies, which are currently used in molecular nanoelectronics, to demonstrate similarities and distinguish features of MLE.
