    摘要: Sensor platforms and methods of making them are described, and include platforms having horizontally oriented sensor elements comprising nanotubes or other nanostructures, such as nanowires. Under certain embodiments, a sensor element has an affinity for an analyte. Under certain embodiments, such a sensor element comprises one or more pristine nanotubes, and, under certain embodiments, it comprises derivatized or functionalized nanotubes. Under certain embodiments, a sensor is made by providing a support structure; providing a collection of nanotubes on the structure; defining a pattern within the nanotube collection; removing part of the collection so that a patterned collection remains to form a sensor element; and providing circuitry to electrically sense the sensor's electrical characterization. Under certain embodiments, the sensor element comprises pre-derivatized or pre-functionalized nanotubes. Under certain embodiments, sensor material is derivatized or functionalized after provision on the structure or after patterning. Under certain embodiments, a large-scale array includes multiple sensors.

    摘要: Non-Volatile RAM Cell and Array using Nanotube Switch Position for Information State. A non-volatile memory array includes a plurality of memory cells, each cell receiving a bit line, word line, and release line. Each memory cell includes a cell selection transistor with first, second and third nodes. The first and second nodes are in respective electrical communication with the bit line and the word line. Each cell further includes an electromechanically deflectable switch, having a first, second and third node. The first node is in electrical communication with the release line, and a third node is in electrical communication with the third node of the cell selection transistor. The electromechanically deflectable switch includes a nanotube switching element physically positioned between the first and third nodes of the switch and in electrical communication with the second node of the switch. The second node of the switch is in communication with a reference signal. Each nanotube switching element is deflectable into contact with the third node of the switch in response to signals at the first and second node of the cell selection transistor and is releasable from such contact in response to a signal at the release line. In preferred embodiments, the cell selection transistor is a FET and the second node of the transistor is a gate of the FET.
