Nanoelectromechanical (NEMS) devices having nanomagnets for an improved range of operating voltages and improved control of dimensions of a cantilever are described. For example, in an embodiment, a nanoelectromechanical (NEMS) device includes a substrate layer, a first magnetic layer disposed above the substrate layer, a first dielectric layer disposed above the first magnetic layer, a second dielectric disposed above the first dielectric layer, and a cantilever disposed above the second dielectric layer. The cantilever bends from a first position to a second position towards the substrate layer when a voltage is applied to the cantilever.

A memory material layer is adjacent to the plurality of selectors in the etch pits, wherein one of the plurality of selectors and the memory material layer is self-aligned and has a hemispherical side facing the corresponding etch pit.
Abstract:
Techniques and mechanisms for patterning a resist using a quencher to limit an irradiation-induced reaction. In an embodiment, the resist material includes nanoclusters and ligands which promote solubility of the nanoclusters. An inorganic molecule of the nanoclusters includes one of a transition metal element, a lanthanide element, an actinide element, or a main group element. Irradiation of the resist material initiates chemical reaction with the ligands, wherein the reaction results in larger structures begin formed with the inorganic nanoparticles. A compound disposed in or adjacent to the resist material provides a quencher which reacts with a by-product of the irradiation-induced reaction. The quencher prevents the by-product from continuing the irradiation-induced reaction in the resist material. In another embodiment, the by-product is one of an electron and a radical.
