Abstract:

The Tight-Binding Method is adopted to investigate the I-V characteristics of a three-terminal singlebenzene molecular device.with the results well reflecting the electrical characteristics of MOS(Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor)devices.The influence of temperature on the I-V characteristics of the device is also simulated and discussed.it is found that the current magnitude increases with the increase in the gate voltage,and that temperature greatly afects the current magnitude,which lays a theoretical basis for the development of molecular devices and nano-devices.

Key words: tight-binding, molecular device, I-V characteristic
