We present a fast, energy-efficient nano-thermomechanical encoding scheme for digital information storage and retrieval. Digital encoding processes are conducted by the bistable electrothermal actuation of a scalable nanobridge device. The electrothermal energy is highly concentrated by enhanced electron/phonon scattering and heat insulation in a sub-100 nm metallic layer. The efficient conversion of electrothermal energy into mechanical strain allows digital switching and programming processes within 60 ns at 0.75 V with a programming energy of only 54 pJ. Furthermore, this encoding scheme together with the thermally robust design enables data retention at temperatures up to 400 °C. These results suggest that the proposed nano-thermomechanical encoding method could contribute to low-power electronics and robust information storage/retrieval systems.
