Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions
Content
1) Introduction, overview; 2) fundamentals (electronic structure, chemical bonds, hybridization, organic compounds, polymers, lipid bilayers, DNA, proteins, the solid-liquid interface); 3) building units (wires, insulators, diodes); 4) electronic transport (classical transport, band conductivity, tunneling, hopping, coupling to contacts, discrete level model, rectification); 5) bio-molecular surface functionalization (Langmuir Blodgett, self-assembled monolayers, functionalization with biomolecules);
6) experimental test systems (scanning probes, break junctions, nanogaps, monolayer junctions); 7) electrical biosensors: surface plasmon resonance, quartz microbalance, nanopores, nanowires 8) charge transfer and transport in biomolecules: DNA and proteins; 9) organic electronics (organic thin-film transistors)

Module Exam
Description of exams and course work
written (60 min.);
The written exam is composed of calculation exercises and short questions about the entire lecture contents; it serves as an examination of the basic understanding of mechanisms and structures of bio-molecular electronics, and of present standard techniques to build basic systems based on those devices.
