Abstract
A memory system having electromechanical memory cells and decoders is disclosed. A decoder circuit selects at least one of the memory cells of an array of such cells. Each cell in the array is a crossbar junction at least one element of which is a nanotube or a nanotube ribbon. The decoder circuit is constructed of crossbar junctions at least one element of each junction being a nanotube or a nanotube ribbon.
Claims19
An addressing element in a circuit, the addressing element comprising:
- a switching element;
- control logic to control the switching element;
- and
- a nanotube ribbon comprising a non-woven fabric of nanotubes and configured to provide an electrical communication path between the control logic and the switching element.
1 more element
An addressing trace to carry an electrical signal, the trace comprising a nanotube ribbon.
