VACCUM NANO ELECTRONIC SWITCHING AND CIRCUIT ELEMENTS.

摘要

The present invention relates to vacuum nano electronic switching and circuit elements based on hollow electron conductors evacuated by an evacuator, which can overcome some basic limitations of solid state (ULSI) integrated circuits. This can be realized by using a semiconducting nano tube (60), e.g. carbon nano tube,with a small emitting material spot inside, interconnect it at the sides with a conducting nano tube (40) and connect to a collecting conducting nano tube (72). Also multiple connections at the side of a semiconducting nano tube (60) can be made and a whole network of vacuum nano ICs can be designed.
