Abstract
A bit cell of the PROM-device comprises a carbon nanotube having a tilted portion comprising a free end and a fixed portion which is to the reference node. The carbon nanotube comprises a structural defect between the fixed and the tilted portion which causes the carbon nanotube to tilt such that the free end is electrically connected to either the storage electrode or an opposite release electrode.
