One of the most difficult and least effective parts of the process of creating a single-electron transistor is the attachment of electrical leads to the nanoparticles, as there are
very few methods available to effectively manipulate particles at such a small scale. We used two different techniques to deposit nanoparticles: dielectrophoresis and the capillary force exerted by
the solvent in which the nanoparticles are suspended.
