The tendency to miniaturization of electronic components is connected with aspiration to increase of speed of electronic processors, increase in density of a data recording, so memory size of electronic devices, development of more sensitive sensors and receivers. At reduction of the sizes of electronic devices in them qualitatively new effects connected, in particular, with the discrete nature of an electric charge and the quantum and wave nature of electrons start being shown. Studying of quantum effects and development on their basis of new devices is one of priorities of modern solid-state physics. The research in this direction are concentrated, in particular, on molecular electronics (moletronics), quantum informatics, quantum metrology and development of measuring devices and sensors of new type. In work results in the field of development and research of molecular single-electron devices received by research team of the Moscow State University, IRE Russian Academy of Sciences and IGIC Russian Academy of Sciences are presented.

Keywords: nanoelectronics, moletronics, single-electronics, single-electron transistor, Coulomb blockade.
