    Abstract: Device design methods for use with non- volatile nanotube switches are disclosed. In a first aspect of the present disclosure, a plurality of nonconductive nanoparticles is adhered to a nanotube element such as to provide an isolation barrier from a control electrode and further provide a switching gap above that element. In a second aspect of the present disclosure, conductive nanoparticles are dispersed and adhered to either a control electrode or to a nanotube element positioned over said electrode element such that the interface area (that is, the area of the nanotube element which comes into contact with the control electrode) is minimized. In a third aspect of the present disclosure, a monolayer network of nonconductive nanotubes is used to provide an isolation barrier between a control electrode and a nanotube element. Voids or spaces in said monolayer network further provides switching gaps.

    Abstract: Vacuum microelectronic devices with carbon nanotube films, layers, ribbons and fabrics are provided. The present invention discloses microelectronic vacuum devices including triode structures that include three-terminals (an emitter, a grid and an anode), and also higher-order devices such as tetrodes and pentodes, all of which use carbon nanotubes to form various components of the devices. In certain embodiments, patterned portions of nanotube fabric may be used as grid/gate components, conductive traces, etc. Nanotube fabrics may be suspended or conformally disposed. In certain embodiments, methods for stiffening a nanotube fabric layer are used. Various methods for applying, selectively removing (e.g. etching), suspending, and stiffening vertically- and horizontally- disposed nanotube fabrics are disclosed, as are CMOS -compatible fabrication methods. In certain embodiments, nanotube fabric triodes provide high-speed, small-scale, low -power devices that can be employed in radiation-intensive applications.
