SUMMARY
NANO TECHNOLOGY DEALS WITH SMALL
SIZED PARTICLES
NANO TECHNOLOGY IS USED TO MAKE
NANO SIZED SWITCHES TO STORE
INFORMATIONS
MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THIS PAPER
PRESENTATION IS TO SHOW HOW NANO
TECHNOLOGY MINGLES WITH EXISTING
SEMICONDUCTOR TECNOLOGY TO MAKE
A SUPERIOR RAM WHICH IS NON
VOLATILE
INTRODUCION
TODAY OUR WORLD IS SURROUNDED BY
DIGTAL DEVEICES
BACKBONE OF TODAYS DIGITAL RESEARCH
AND DVELOPMENT IS “THE COMPUTER”.
DIGITAL BY NAME DEALS WITH DIGIT AND
IN TODAYS WORLD EVERY GADGET NEEDS
TO MANIUPLATE THE DIGITAL DATA.
TO MANIUPLATE DIGTAL DATA STRORING
IT IS MORE NECESSARY
HENCE WE CAN SAY THAT STORAGE
DEVICE PLAY VERY IMPORTANT ROLE
RAM IS THE MAIN STORAGE DEVICE OF
EVERY DIGITAL SYSTEM
CARBON NANO TUBES
CARBON NANO TUBE ARE CYLINDERS
MESURING NANO METER
CARBON NANO TUBES ARE FIFTY
TIMES STRONGER THAN STEEL YET
FIVE TIMES LESS DENSER THAN STEEL
NANO TUBES CONDUCT ELECTRICITY
MORE THAN COPPER
NANO TUBES ARE BETTER HEAT
CONDUCTER THAN DIAMOND WHICH
IS THE BEST HEAT CONDUCTOR
NANO TUBE HAS THE PROPERTY
SIMILAR THAT OF SPRING
ENVIRONMENT
FRIENDLY
SCIENTIST HAVE CREATED METHODS TO
CONVERT DIPOSABLE PLASTIC INTO CARBON
NANO TUBE
THIS SCIENTIST WAS FROM ARGONNE
NATIONAL LAB HIS NAME IS VILAS GANPAT

SUSPENSION OF NANO
TUBE ON RAM
DESCRIPTION
Design is quite simple
Nanotubes can serve as individual addressable
electromechanical switches arryed across the surface of a
microchip
Storing hundreds of gigabytes to terabytes of information
is possible.
When an electric field is applied to nanotube would cause
it to flex downwards into depression onto the chip’s
surface.
Vanderwaal’s force
Once bent the nano tubes can remain that way , even
when the power is turned off
This property would allow a non-volatile operation
Vanderwaals forces which are weak molecular forces of
attraction ,would hold the switch in place until different
polarity is applied.
SAGGING AND STRAIGHTENING REPRSENTS “1”
AND “O” STATES RESPECTIVELY FOR RAM
WHEN TRANSISTOR GETS ON ELECTRODE

PRODUCES STATE “1”

A NANO TUBE MEMORY IS MUCH FASTER ,SMALLER
AND LESS POWER CONSUMING
SUSPENDED NANO TUBE
SWITCHED CONNECTION
NRAM
DESIGNIG

 NANO TUBE PURCHASED FROM BULK

SUPPLIERS ARE A FORM OF HIGH –TECH
CARBON SOOT
THE FILTERED CARBON NANO TUBE IS FITTED
ON THE SURFACE OF SILICON CHIP
NANO TUBE IS FINALY ENCAPSULATED ON THE
CHIP BY STANDARD IC TECHNOLOGY
ADVANTAGES

NRAM IS NEARLY DENSER AS DRAM

NRAM NEEDS LESS POWER THAN DRAM &SRAM
NRAM HAS SPEED NEARLY EQUAL TO THAT OF
SRAM
NRAM HAS EVEN MORE ADVANTAGEOUS
PROPERTIES IF COMPARED WIYH TODAYS
NVRAMS
APLLICATION OF THIS
TECHNOLOGY IN OTHER
DEVICES
THIS CAN BE USED IN
CELLPHONE
CPU CACHE
MP3 PLAYERS ,IPODS
PEN DRIVES
NRAM UNIVERSAL
NRAM IS VARIETY OF NEWMEMORY SYSTEM
WHICH CLAIM TO BE “UNIVERSAL”
THE ONLY SYSTEM AVAILAIBLE FOR
COMERCIAL USE FeRAM
OTHER MORE SPECULATIVE SYSTEMS INCLUDE
MRAM &PRAM.
CONCLUSION

SOME NEW METHOD HAS TO BE

IMPLIMENTED TO MAKE THIS SYSTEM MORE
PRACTICLE.
THIS WOULD INTRODUCE NEW COMPUTERS
TO THE WORLD WITH UNIMAGINABLE SPEED
OF BOOTING AND RE BOOTING.
HI SPEED NETWORKS ETC
