Patent abstract
An electromechanical memory cell utilizes a cantilever and a laterally positioned electrode. The cantilever is spaced apart from the electrode by a distance that is greater than the elastic limit of the cantilever. The memory cell is programmed by applying voltages to the cantilever and the electrode which causes the cantilever to move into a region of plastic deformation without ever touching the electrode.
