Patent ID: 7696512

Claim:
An electron device comprising: a carbon-based linear structural body constructed of a carbon lattice and including at least two lattice defects; a first electrode disposed at one end of the carbon-based linear structural body; and a second electrode disposed at the other end of the carbon-based linear structural body, and wherein the carbon-based linear structural body including at least two lattice defects is formed with chemical vapor deposition (CVD) over the first electrode and the second electrode; and each of the lattice defects is an atomic vacancy of a carbon atom in the carbon lattice constructing the carbon-based linear structural body, wherein the first electrode comprises a first protruding portion comprising a first sharp end portion, and the second electrode comprises a second protruding portion comprising a second sharp end portion, wherein the first protruding portion of the first electrode faces the second protruding portion of the second electrode, and wherein the first sharp end portion of the first electrode faces the second sharp end portion of the second electrode, and the carbon-based linear structural body extends from each sharp end portion.
