Abstract

We have proposed a simple method of activating advanced functions in single-electron transistors (SETs) based on the specific properties of individual molecules. As a prototype, we fabricated a copper phthalocyanine (CuPc)-doped SET. The device consists of a gold-nanoparticle (GNP)-based SET doped with CuPc as a photoresponsive floating gate. In this paper, we report the details of the photoresponses of the CuPc-doped SET, such as conductance switching, sensitivity to the wavelength of the incident light, and multiple induced states.
