One of the main challenges for accessing the electronic properties of ultrathin organic layers (UOL), and consequently their application for future devices, consists of connecting such layers to the external word. Two main problems usually arise by trying to vertically connect UOLs: i) the interdiffusion of metallic atoms into the sub-10nm molecular layers, which leads to the damaging and/or the modification of the final device behavior; ii) the presence of pin-holes across the molecular layer, which is responsible for short circuited junctions. Here we discuss the fundamentals, potentialities and limitations of using rolled up nanomembranes as top electrodes for contacting a variety of UOLs, including self-assembled monolayer's and ultra-thin organic semiconducting layers.
