Abstract

See full text

A method of fabricating an electromechanical device includes the following steps. A first and a second back gate are formed over a substrate. An etch stop layer is formed covering the first and second back gates. Electrodes are formed over the first and second back gates, wherein the electrodes include one or more gate, source, and drain electrodes, wherein gaps are present between the source and drain electrodes. One or more Janus components are placed the gaps, each of which includes a first portion having an electrically conductive material and a second portion having an electrically insulating material, and wherein i) the first or second portion of the Janus components placed in a first one of the gaps has a fixed positive surface charge and ii) the first or second portion of the Janus components placed in a second one of the gaps has a fixed negative surface charge.
