Patent ID: 8796667

Claim:
A static random access memory (SRAM) comprising: a first carbon nanotube (CNT) inverter including at least a first CNT transistor; a second CNT inverter connected to the first CNT inverter, the second CNT inverter including at least a second CNT transistor; a first switching transistor connected to at least the first CNT inverter; and a second switching transistor connected to at least the second CNT inverter; wherein at least one of the first and second CNT transistors comprises an insulating layer directly formed on a substrate; source and drain electrodes directly formed on the insulating layer, the source and drain electrodes being spaced apart from one another; a CNT channel directly formed on the insulating layer between the source and drain electrode; a gate insulating layer formed on the CNT channel and the source and drain electrodes such that the gate insulating layer partially overlaps the source and drain electrodes; and a gate electrode formed on the gate insulating layer, wherein the source and drain electrodes and the CNT channel directly contact the insulation layer.
