Abstract
A high-mobility (9000 cm2/V·s) semiconducting single-walled nanotube transistor is used to construct a nonvolatile charge-storage memory element operating at room temperature. Charges are stored by application of a few volts across the silicon dioxide dielectric between nanotube and silicon substrate, and detected by threshold shift of the nanotube field-effect transistor. The high mobility of the nanotube transistor allows the observation of discrete configurations of charge corresponding to rearrangement of a single or few electrons. These states may be reversibly written, read, and erased at temperatures up to 100 K.
