    摘要: Field effect devices having channels of nanofabric and methods of making same. A nanotube field effect transistor is made to have a substrate, and a drain region and a source region in spaced relation relative to each other. A channel region is formed from a fabric of nanotubes, in which the nanotubes of the channel region are substantially all of the same semiconducting type of nanotubes. At least one gate is formed in proximity to the channel region so that the gate may be used to modulate the conductivity of the channel region so that a conductive path may be formed between the drain and source region. Forming a channel region includes forming a fabric of nanotubes in which the fabric has both semiconducting and metallic nanotubes and the fabric is processed to remove substantially all of the metallic nanotubes.

    摘要: A memory array includes a plurality of memory cells, each of which receives a bit line, a first word line, and a second word line. Each memory cell includes a cell selection circuit, which allows the memory cell to be selected. Each memory cell also includes a two-terminal switching device, which includes first and second conductive terminals in electrical communication with a nanotube article. The memory array also includes a memory operation circuit, which is operably coupled to the bit line, the first word line, and the second word line of each cell. The circuit can select the cell by activating an appropriate line, and can apply appropriate electrical stimuli to an appropriate line to reprogrammably change the relative resistance of the nanotube article between the first and second terminals. The relative resistance corresponds to an informational state of the memory cell.
