The high energy consumption of integrated electronics products and expensive methods of their production makes scaling silicon semiconductor devices to sizes less than 50 nm a difficult technological and design task. Recently, significant advances have been made in the development and research of molecular electronics products: molecular wires, molecular diodes made from individual molecules. Good results also obtained in the technology of forming a reliable electrical contact with electrically conductive molecules. Advances in nanoelectronics make it possible to develop more complex molecular electronic structures such as digital logic circuits. In this work, a quantum-chemical simulation of a molecule performing the function of a logical element is carried out, the equilibrium spatial configuration of the molecule is optimized, the design is developed and the topology of the layers for fabricating a substrate for mounting a molecule and creating external interfaces is developed. The obtained results demonstrate the promise of organic electronics as an alternative to silicon semiconductor materials in the development of integrated circuits.
