Abstract
A method with self-terminated mechanism was developed to fabricate metallic electrodes with angstrom-sized gaps. The method is based on a directional electrodeposition process by applying a controlled constant current source in a two-electrode system. The final gap width between the two electrodes is directly determined by the preset value of electrodeposition current and the fabricated gap keeps a high stability. The method is controllable and simple, which has a potential for the mass production. The possible factors influencing the fabricated gap width are discussed.
