摘要： The invention comprises a carbon nanotube switch suitable for use in an integrated circuit structure and capable of being moved from a first position in a first plane in the switch to a second position in a second plane in the switch using approximately the same energy as required to move the switch from the second position back to the first position. The switch comprises a flexible carbon nanotube strip secured clamped at one end in a first plane in a switching chamber, and secured or clamped, at the opposite end of the carbon nanotube, in a second plane in the switching chamber, which is parallel to the first plane but spaced therefrom, to permit the central portion of the carbon nanotube strip to move in the chamber between a first position in the first plane and in electrical contact with one or more first electrodes and a second position in the second plane and in electrical contact with one or more second electrodes.

摘要： A method of forming an aligned connection between a nanotube layer and a raised feature is disclosed. A substrate having a raised feature has spacers formed next to the side of the raised feature. The spacers are etched until the sidewalls of the raised feature are exposed forming a notched feature at the top of the spacers. A patterned nanotube layer is formed such that the nanotube layer overlies the top of the spacer and contacts a side portion of the raised feature in the notched feature. The nanotube layer is then covered with an insulating layer. Then a top portion of the insulating layer is removed to expose a top portion of the etched feature.

摘要： Field effect devices having a gate controlled via a nanotube switching element. Under one embodiment, a non-volatile transistor device includes a source region and a drain region of a first semiconductor type of material and each in electrical communication with a respective terminal. A channel region of a second semiconductor type of material is disposed between the source and drain region. A gate structure is disposed over an insulator over the channel region and has 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 gate structure and the terminal corresponding to the gate structure. 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 gate structure 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.
