| Research Abstract |
Development of biotechnology has been remarkable, which enables us to fabricate nanoscale structures using biomolecules as nanoblocks. A combination of biotechnology and semiconductor technology is emerging as a promising candidate for enabling a breakthrough in the fabrication of advanced electronic devices. The main features of biotechnology from a nanotechnology point of view are as follows : Size distribution is extremely small on the molecular scale. Biomolecules can form nanostructures in a self-assembling manner, which is an essential part of the bottom-up fabrication technology. Protein has the ability to biomineralize inorganic materials at its surface. Utilizing these characteristics, we propose a novel bottom-up method for fabricating nanostructure with a very small size distribution.
We have a floating nano-dot gate metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor(MOSFET). The floating nano-dots gate MOSFET is expected to be promising candidate component for next-generation memory such as flash memory. It is required that the floating nanod-dots have a small size distribution and should take the form of a high-density monolayer. We adopted the cage-shaped protein ferritin to satisfy these requirements. Ferritin has a protein shell, its outer and inner diameters are 12 nm and 7 nm, respectively, and it has fairly high thermal and pH stabilities compared with other proteins. The inner cavity can accommodate an iron oxide core (5Fe_2O_3・9H_2O). Therefore, iron oxide nano-dots with small size distribution can be artificially synthesized with ferritin molecules. It has also demonstrated that ferritin molecules can form a large two-dimensional crystal that is a high-density monolayer. Combining these characteristics, we fabricated a monolayer of ferritin with iron oxide cores.
