Abstract
We demonstrate the fabrication of freely suspended metallic islands using an SF6 etching and deposition technique. The resulting structure consists of nanoscale islands connected to source and drain contacts by thin CF2 layers. This enables operation of the suspended island as a coupled metal-insulatormetal (MIM) junction with application as ultra-sensitive nano-diodes.
