A micro electronic component, preferably in the form of an electronic
memory, includes the use of clusters as an electronic memory. Also
disclosed as part of the present invention is a method for fabricating a
micro electronic component. The present invention contemplates
fabrication of an especially compact electronic memory that works
especially with single-electron transistors or single-electronic
transfers. According to the present invention, clusters with a metallic
cluster nucleus are arranged in parallel grooves essentially in lines or
rows and are connected individually to first and second connecting
electrodes, such that individually the clusters can be electrically
modified or polled independently of each other.
