1. An electronic component comprising:
- first and second substrates;
a first member disposed between said first and a second substrates, said first member defining a vacuum chamber;
a first semi-conductor component coupled to the first substrate, said first semi-conductor component in connection with a first free space electron transmitter and a first free space electron receiver disposed within said vacuum chamber;
a second semi-conductor component coupled to the second substrate, said second semi-conductor component in connection with a second free space electron transmitter and a second free space electron receiver disposed within said vacuum chamber;
wherein said first transmitter is a cold cathode configured to transmit a signal from said first semi-conductor component to the second free space electron receiver and wherein said second transmitter is configured to transmit a signal from said second semi-conductor component to the first free space electron receiver.
