We plan to build and test a nano microphone that utilizes a 1 nm thick carbon nanomembrane (CNM) as a sensitive diaphragm. The CNM is made by electron induced crosslinking of aromatic self-assembled monolayers. To convert oscillations of the CNM into electrical signals, we have to integrate the molecular CNMs and electronic circuits into a functional nano electro- mechanical system (NEMS). The operation principle is based on a field effect transistor (FET). A freestanding conductive diaphragm is placed over the source-drain-channel of the FET and acts as flexible gate-electrode. Accordingly an oscillation of the membrane leads to an AC signal of the source-drain-current. Our objective is to build a prototype that will be used for sound measurements in air and water; it will be tested for spatially and timely resolved sound detection. The proof-of-concept experiments and first results of CNM-gated FETs will be presented.
