摘要： 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.

The input node of the of the second inverter is coupled to the set electrode of the second nanotube switching element and to the output node of the first nanotube switching element; and the channel electrode is coupled to a channel voltage line. The release electrode of the first nanotube switching element is coupled to the release electrode of the second nanotube switching element and wherein both release electrodes are coupled to a release line. The cell can operate as a normal electronic memory, or can operate in a shadow memory or store mode (e.g., when power is interrupted) to transfer the electronic memory state to the nanotube switching elements. The device may later be operated in a recall mode where the state of the nanotube switching elements may be transferred to the electronic memory.

摘要： Non-volatile field effect devices and circuits using same. A non-volatile field effect device includes a source, drain and gate with a field-modulatable channel between the source and drain. Each of the source, drain, and gate have a corresponding terminal. An electromechanically-deflectable, nanotube switching element is electrically positioned between one of the source, drain and gate and its corresponding terminal. The others of the source, drain and gate are directly connected to their corresponding terminals. The nanotube switching element is electromechanically-deflectable in response to electrical stimulation at two control terminals to create one of a nonvolatile open and non-volatile closed electrical communication state between the one of the source, drain and gate and its corresponding terminal. Under one embodiment, one of the two control terminals has a dielectric surface for contact with the nanotube switching element when creating a non-volatile open state. Under one embodiment, the source, drain and gate may be stimulated at any voltage level from ground to supply voltage, and wherein the two control terminals are stimulated at any voltage level from ground to a switching threshold voltage larger in magnitude than the supply voltage. Under one embodiment, the nanotube switching element includes an article made from nanofabric that is positioned between the two control terminals. Under one embodiment, one of the two control terminals is a release electrode for electrostatically pulling the nanotube article out of contact with the one of the source, drain and gate so as to form a non-volatile open state. Under one embodiment, the other of the two control terminals is a set electrode for electrostatically pulling the nanotube article into contact with the one of the source, drain and gate so as to form a non-volatile closed state.
