Abstract
Improved memory devices that include one or more nanostructures such as carbon nanotubes or other nanostructures, as well as systems and devices incorporating such improved memory devices, are disclosed. In at least some embodiments, the improved memory device is of a nonvolatile type such as a flash memory device, and employs a pair of triodes that form a memory cell, where each triode employs at least one carbon nanotube. Also disclosed are methods of operating and fabricating such improved memory devices.
