چکیده
The fringe field effects of nano-electromechanical (NEM) nonvolatile memory cells have been investigated analytically for the accurate evaluation of NEM memory cells. As the beam width is scaled down, fringe field effect becomes more severe. It has been observed that pull-in, release and hysteresis voltage decrease more than our prediction. Also, the fringe field on cell characteristics has been discussed. key words: nano-electromechanical (NEM) non-volatile memory cell, fringe field effect, beam width

Fringe Field Effects on Transient Characteristics of Nano-Electromechanical (NEM) Nonvolatile Memory Cells
The fringe field effects on the transient characteristics of nano-electromechanical (NEM) memory cells have been discussed by using an analytical model. The influence of fringe field becomes stronger as the size of a cell decreases. By using the proposed model, the dependency of NEM memory transient characteristics on cell parameters has been evaluated.

متن کاملNEMS-CMOS Hybrid Technology and its Applications
Si-based CMOS technology is facing a serious challenge in terms of power consumption variability. The increasing costs associated with physical scaling have motivated a search for alternative approaches. Hybridization of nano-electromechanical (NEM)-switch and Sibased CMOS devices has shown a theoretical feasibility for power management. However, a huge technical gap must be bridged before a tr...
متن کاملNanoscale reversible mass transport for archival memory.
We report on a simple electromechanical memory device in which an iron nanoparticle shuttle is controllably positioned within a hollow nanotube channel. The shuttle can be moved reversibly via an electrical write signal and can be positioned with nanoscale precision. The position of the shuttle can be read out directly via a blind resistance read measurement, allowing application as a nonvolati...
متن کاملFloating - point Unit ( FPU ) Designs with Nano - electromechanical ( NEM ) Relays
Nano-electromechanical (NEM) relays are an alternative to CMOS transistors as the fabric of digital circuits. Circuits with NEM relays offer energy-efficiency benefits over CMOS since they have zero leakage power and are strategically designed to maintain throughput that is competitive with CMOS despite their slow actuation times. The floating-point unit (FPU) is the most complex arithmetic uni...
