13. A method comprising:
-
providing a substrate comprising a power pad, a nanotube attached to the power pad, wherein the nanotube comprises at least one side chain, a first switch pad disposed on a first side of the substrate and a second switch pad disposed on a second side of the substrate; and
setting the first switch pad to a first charge state substantially equal to a side chain charge state, wherein the nanotube bends to make contact with the second switch pad. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
