    Abstract: Electro-mechanical switches and memory cells using vertically-disposed nanofabric articles and methods of making the same are described. An electro-mechanical device, includes a structure having a major horizontal surface and a channel formed therein. A conductive trace is in the channel; and a nanotube article vertically suspended in the channel, in spaced relation to a vertical wall of the channel. The article is electro-mechanically deflectable in a horizontal direction toward the conductive trace. Under certain embodiments, the vertically suspended extent of the nanotube article is defined by a thin film process. Under certain embodiments, the vertically suspended extent of the nanotube article is about 50 nanometers or less. Under certain embodiments, the nanotube article is clamped with a conducting material disposed in porous spaces between some nanotubes of the nanotube article. Under certain embodiments, the nanotube article is formed from a porous nanofabric. Under certain embodiments, the nanotube article is electromechanically deflectable into contact with the conductive trace and the contact is either a volatile state or non-volatile state depending on the device construction. Under certain embodiments, the vertically oriented device is arranged into various forms of three-trace devices. Under certain embodiments, the channel may be used for multiple independent devices, or for devices that share a common electrode.

    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrostatic microswitch which is intended to connect electrically two strip conductors which are disposed on an insulating support (21). According to the invention, the two strip conductors are connected electrically by conducting means (38) which are provided in the central part of deformable means (28) which can be deformed in relation to the support under the effect of an electrostatic force generated by control electrodes (25, 48; 26, 58). The control electrodes are distributed facing one another on the deformable means and the support, such as to form capacitive means around the aforementioned conducting means. Moreover, the control electrodes are associated with insulating stop elements (35, 36) which are provided in order to prevent a short circuit between electrodes of the capacitive means during the deformation of the deformable means. The distance between the deformable means and the ends of the strip conductors is less than or equal to the distance between the insulating stop elements associated with the control electrodes and the control electrodes located opposite.

    Abstract: A micro-machine switch in accordance with the present invention includes a supporter having a predetermined height relative to a surface of a substrate, a flexible cantilever projecting from the supporter in parallel with a surface of the substrate, and having a distal end facing a gap formed between two signal lines, a contact electrode formed on the cantilever, facing the gap, a lower electrode formed on the substrate in facing relation with a part of the cantilever, and an intermediate electrode formed on the cantilever in facing relation with the lower electrode. The micro-machine switch can operate at a lower drive voltage than a voltage at which a conventional micro-machine switch operates, and can enhance a resistance of an insulating film against a voltage.
