NANOELECTRIC DEVICE FOR GENERATING AN ALTERNATING CURRENT

摘要

The present invention relates to a nanoelectromechanical device (1) for generating an alternating current, characterized in that it comprises an elongate semiconductor nanoelement (2) suspended by its ends (2a, 2b) between two electrodes (3, 4) at a height h above a capacitive element (5), said capacitive element (5) and at least one of the electrodes (3, 4) for suspending the semiconductor nanoelement (2) being each connected to a DC voltage generator (6, 7) so as to supply said capacitive element (5) and the said electrode (3, 4) and thus cause the centre (C) of the semiconductor nanoelement (2) to undergo a spontaneous oscillation, generating an alternating current (Isd) within said nanoelement.
