Abstract :
Carbon nanotube (CNT) based nano electromechanical system (NEMS) were developed to apply to the logic and the memory circuit. The electrical `on-off´ behavior induced by the mechanical movements of CNTs can promise low power consumption in circuit with very low level leakage current. Additionally, the unique vertical structure of nanotubes allows high integration density for devices.
