ABSTRACT:
A multivalued memory device which includes a first multivalued memory transistor and a second multivalued memory transistor, wherein each transistor has a channel made from at least one carbon nanotube or nanowire, wherein data is stored by varying the number of carbon nanotubes or nanowires used in the channel, wherein the channel is the at least one carbon nanotube or nanowire which allows current to flow through it.
