Abstract

In this review, we present an overview of four proof-of-concept of single-atom transistors based on four technologies : Atom doping, Single electron transistors, Single-atom metallic wire and Multilevel atomic-scale switching. Techniques and methods to build these transistors are described as such as the theory behind their mechanisms.
