Bi-Stable Nanoswitch
Value PropositionThe nanoswitch:ΓÇóIs simpler and much more cost effective as compared to conventional switchesΓÇóEmploys one or more nanotubes (such as SWNT) as the actuation element as compared to patterned sheets of nanoelements used in other devicesΓÇóAchieves a 5-fold reduction in voltage as compared to other devicesΓÇóDoesnΓÇÖt require any restoring electrode as opposed to other devicesΓÇóWould be commercially useful for the following applications:ΓÇóIncorporation into existing CMOS processes to fabricate non-volatile memory devicesΓÇóProduction of sensors such as radiation detectors, chemical sensors, thermal sensors, and biological sensorsΓÇóFabrication of latches, flip-flops, registers, and other components used in microprocessor chips for computers
