Abstract
The present invention includes a chemical monolayer construction that comprises: a substrate having a contact surface, and a monolayer of a plurality of substantially parallel molecular units attached to the contact surface of the substrate. The molecular units are strongly coupled electronically to the substrate. The contact surface of the substrate has a roughness value less than or equal to the average length of the molecular units. The molecular units comprise a chemical structure that is capable of being changed from a relatively non-conductive state to a relatively conductive state by the application of a stimulus. The present invention also includes electronic circuit components and devices including chemical monolayer constructions.
