Single-molecule devices attract much interest in the development of nanoscale electronics. Although a variety of functional single molecules for single-molecule electronics have been developed, there still remains the need to implement sophisticated functionalization toward practical applications. Given its superior functionality encountered in macroscopic materials, a polymer could be a useful building block in the single-molecule devices. Therefore, a molecular junction composed of polymer has now been created. Furthermore, an automated algorithm was developed to quantitatively analyze the tunneling current through the junction. Quantitative analysis revealed that the polymer junction exhibits a higher formation probability and longer lifetime than its monomer counterpart. These results suggest that the polymer provides a unique opportunity to design both stable and highly functional molecular devices for nanoelectronics.
