MICRO/NANOMECHANICAL SYSTEMS FOR INFORMATION PROCESSING

摘要

A parametric electromechanical resonator was fabricated using a GaAs/AlGaAs modulation-doped heterostructure. Three on-chip operations - actuation, detection and mechanical resonance frequency control - were all demonstrated using piezoelectric based strain-voltage transduction. We clearly confirmed that the device can perform bit storage operation in the same way a Parametron computer does. Finally, methods for constructing an electromechanical shift register and AND/OR gates are also proposed.
