Abstract
The invention comprises a carbon nanotube switch suitable for use in an integrated circuit structure and capable of being moved from a first position in a first plane in the switch to a second position in a second plane in the switch using approximately the same energy as required to move the switch from the second position back to the first position. The switch comprises a flexible carbon nanotube strip secured clamped at one end in a first plane in a switching chamber, and secured or clamped, at the opposite end of the carbon nanotube, in a second plane in the switching chamber, which is parallel to the first plane but spaced therefrom, to permit the central portion of the carbon nanotube strip to move in the chamber between a first position in the first plane and in electrical contact with one or more first electrodes and a second position in the second plane and in electrical contact with one or more second electrodes.
