Abstract For molecule-based material, proper scale electrode to the individual materials must be prepared. Using electron beam lithography method, we formed the electrodes with 5-10 nm gap. The electrodes revealed transport properties in the nano-scale clusters, such as fullerene cluster and pentacene clusters. Furthermore, recently, we succeeded in formation of metallic electrode with 1-2 nm gap. This allows us to approach a dimer of fullerene. On the other hand, nano-scale interface between the metal electrode and the conductive material is also important issue to be solved to form electrically continuous connection. The interface control is very effective, especially in organic electronics, to enhance the device performance. In the seminar, we like to introduce our experimental results related to these two important nano-scale issues for future molecule or organic electronics.
