ABSTRACT:
A micro electronic component, preferably in the form of an electronic memory, includes the use of clusters as an electronic memory. Also disclosed as part of the present invention is a method for fabricating a micro electronic component. The present invention contemplates fabrication of an especially compact electronic memory that works especially with single-electron transistors or single-electronic transfers. According to the present invention, clusters with a metallic cluster nucleus are arranged in parallel grooves essentially in lines or rows and are connected individually to first and second connecting electrodes, such that individually the clusters can be electrically modified or polled independently of each other.
