Abstract
A seek-scan-probe memory device, utilizing a media electrode to allow active cantilevers to contact the storage media, and a pull electrode to pull up cantilevers away from the storage media when in an inactive mode. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Claims7
A memory device comprising:
- a mover;
- a storage media;
- an array of cantilevers;
- an array of pull electrodes attached directly to the mover;
- and
- an array of media electrodes adjacent to the storage media;
- wherein for each cantilever in the array of cantilevers there is a pull electrode in the array of pull electrodes and a media electrode in the array of media electrodes.
