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： Field effect devices having a drain controlled via a nanotube switching element. Under one embodiment, a field effect device includes a source region and a drain region of a first semiconductor type and a channel region disposed therebetween of a second semiconductor type. The source region is connected to a corresponding terminal. A gate structure is disposed over the channel region and connected to a corresponding terminal. A nanotube switching element is responsive to a first control terminal and a second control terminal and is electrically positioned in series between the drain region and a terminal corresponding to the drain region. The nanotube switching element is electromechanically operable to one of an open and closed state to thereby open or close an electrical communication path between the drain region and its corresponding terminal. When the nanotube switching element is in the closed state, the channel conductivity and operation of the device is responsive to electrical stimulus at the terminals corresponding to the source and drain regions and the gate structure.

The article has a physical dimension that defines a spacing between the first and second conductive terminals such that the nanotube article is interposed between the first and second conducive terminals. A logical state of each memory cell is selectable by activation only of the bit line and the word line connected to that memory cell.
摘要翻译：高密度存储阵列。多个字线和多个位线被布置为访问多个存储单元。每个存储单元包括第一导电端子和与第一导电端子物理和电接触的制品，所述制品包括多个纳米级颗粒。第二导电端子与物品物理和电接触。选择电路布置成与多个位线的位线和第一和第二导电端子之一电连通。该制品具有限定第一和第二导电端子之间的间隔的物理尺寸，使得纳米管制品插入在第一和第二导电端子之间。每个存储器单元的逻辑状态仅通过仅连接到该存储器单元的位线和字线的激活来选择。
