Abstract
A microelectronic network is fabricated on a fibrous skeleton by binding or complexing electronically functional substances to the nucleic acid skeleton. The skeleton comprises fibers with nucleotide chains. The assembly of the fibers into a network is based on interactions of nucleotide chain portions of different fibers
Claims31
An electric network comprising
- at least one fiber comprising a nucleotide chain defining the network's geometry;
- and
- one or more substances, molecules, clusters of atoms or molecules or particles bound thereto or complexed therewith to form at least one electric or electronic component or a conductor;
- the network being electrically connected to an electrically conducting interface component for electric communication with an external electric component or circuitry.
1 more element
A method for making an electronic network, comprising:
- (a) providing an arrangement comprising at least one electrically conductive interface component;
- (b) attaching a linker to the at least one interface component;
- (c) contacting said arrangement with at least one fiber comprising at least one nucleotide chain with a sequence capable of binding to the linker, and permitting binding of said sequences to said linker,
- (d) electrically or electronically functionalizing the at least one nucleotide chain by depositing thereon or complexing thereto at least one substance or particles.
