    摘要: Electromechanical circuits, such as memory cells, and methods for making same are disclosed. The circuits include a structure having electrically conductive traces and supports extending from a surface of the substrate, and nanotube ribbons suspended by the supports that cross the electrically conductive traces, wherein each ribbon comprises one or more nanotubes. The electro-mechanical circuit elements are made by providing a structure having electrically conductive traces and supports, in which the supports extend from a surface of the substrate. A layer of nanotubes is provided over the supports, and portions of the layer of nanotubes are selectively removed to form ribbons of nanotubes that cross the electrically conductive traces. Each ribbon includes one or more nanotubes.

    摘要: Nanotube on gate FET structures and applications of such, including n2 crossbars requiring only 2n control lines. A non-volatile transistor device includes a source region and a drain region of a first semiconductor type of material and a channel region of a second semiconductor type of material disposed between the source and drain region. A gate structure is made of at least one of semiconductive or conductive material and is disposed over an insulator over the channel region. A control gate is made of at least one of semiconductive or conductive material. An electromechanically-deflectable nanotube switching element is in fixed contact with one of the gate structure and the control gate structure and is not in fixed contact with the other of the gate structure and the control gate structure. The device has a network of inherent capacitances, including an inherent capacitance of an undeflected nanotube switching element in relation to the gate structure. The network is such that the nanotube switching element is deflectable into contact with the other of the gate structure and the control gate structure in response to signals being applied to the control gate and one of the source region and drain region. Certain embodiments of the device have an area of about 4 F2. Other embodiments include a release line is positioned in spaced relation to the nanotube switching element, and having a horizontal orientation that is parallel to the orientation of the source and drain diffusions. Other embodiments provide an n2 crossbar array having n2 non-volatile transistor devices, but require only 2n control lines.

    摘要: Methods of producing an electromechanical circuit element are described. A lower structure having lower support structures and a lower electrically conductive element is provided. A nanotube ribbon (or other electromechanically responsive element) is formed on an upper surface of the lower structure so as to contact the lower support structures. An upper structure is provided over the nanotube ribbon. The upper structure includes upper support structures and an upper electrically conductive element. In some arrangements, the upper and lower electrically conductive elements are in vertical alignment, but in some arrangements they are not.
