Japanese Patent JP2732887
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To bring the size of a rectifying device close to hyperfine size at a molecular level by forming a rectifying section of a first oxidation-reduction substance film composed of a flavin derivative and a second oxidation-reduction substance film consisting of a porphyrin derivative. CONSTITUTION:A rectifying section 9 is made up of a first oxidation-reduction substance film 3 composed of a flavin derivative and a second oxidation- reduction substance film 4 consisting of a porphyrin derivative. That is, rectification characteristics are generated by at least two kinds of the oxidation- reduction substances having different redox potential. A complex formed by joining the two oxidation-reduction substances A, B having different redox potential displays rectification characteristics that electrons easily flow from the negative level of redox potential to a positive level as shown in the arrow of a solid line in the figure, but is difficult to flow in the opposite direction (the direction of the arrow of a broken line in the figure), thus providing a rectifying device displaying properties similar to a P-N junction. Accordingly, the size of the rectifying device can be brought close to hyperfine size at a molecular level.
