Design optimization and characterization of nanogap crack-junctions

• A crack-junction (CJ) is a nanogap electrode pair featuring reliable and controlled nanoscale gap widths that can be produced in large numbers with high dimensional accuracy on a substrate. In this paper, we present a discussion on geometrical considerations of CJs made of titanium nitride (TiN) electrodes, which provides guidelines for reliable formation of TiN CJs with well-defined dimensions. We further provide complete electrical characterization of 40 TiN CJs designed as electron tunneling junctions.
