Abstract

Recently, nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) have attracted much attention due to their unique properties and possible applications that differ greatly from those of microelectromechanical systems. NEMS operating frequencies may achieve giga- and terahertz levels and their power consumption and heat capacity is extremely low. Moreover, integration levels may reach 10 12 devices per cm-2. In this review, we present techniques for integrating semiconductor materials in NEMS. In particular, we examine fabrication, structure, properties and potential applications of two main classes of NEMS, namely, resonators and switches.
