    摘要: Boolean logic circuits comprising nanotube-based switching elements with multiple controls. The Boolean logic circuits include input and output terminals and a network of nanotube switching elements electrically disposed between said at least one input terminal and said output terminal. Each switching element includes an input node, an output node, and a nanotube channel element having at least one electrically conductive nanotube. A control structure is disposed in relation to the nanotube channel element to controllably form and unform an electrically conductive channel along the nanotube channel element. At least one nanotube switching element non-volatilely retains an informational state and at least one nanotube switching elements volatilely retains an informational state. The network of nanotube switching elements effectuates a Boolean function transformation of Boolean signals on said at least one input terminal. Dual rail cascode logic circuits may also be constructed from the nanotube switching elements.

    摘要: An electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) cell includes cell selection circuitry and a storage cell for storing the informational state of the cell. The storage cell is an electro-mechanical data retention cell in which the physical positional state of a storage cell element represents the informational state of the cell. The storage cell element is a carbon nanotube switching element. The storage is writable with supply voltages used by said cell selection circuitry. The storage is writable and readable via said selection circuitry with write times and read times being within an order of magnitude. The write times and read times are substantially the same. The storage has no charge storage or no charge trapping.
