Abstract:
An apparatus with isolated devices for an atomic resolution storage (ARS) system, comprising:a first wafer, wherein the first wafer includes field emitters that create electron beams by drawing electrons off a metal in the field emitters, and wherein the electron beams are used to write data bits onto storage media; and a second wafer, wherein the second wafer is a doped silicon (Si) substrate, the second wafer comprises: devices embedded in a top active Si layer, wherein the devices are isolated from one another, and each device is coupled with each field emitter; and an insulating layer positioned between the second wafer substrate and the top active Si layer, wherein the devices are isolated by etching of the top active Si layer until reaching the insulating layer in the second wafer.
