  • Patent number: 6765837
    Abstract: A memory device includes a substrate, at least a thin film superimposed on the substrate having a plurality of microholes formed in the thin film, with a first microhole having a zero depth designated as digital zero; and a second microhole having a specific depth (such as the microhole formed through the thickness of the thin film) designated as digital one; whereby upon scanning of the microholes by a focused electron beam, the physical property as responded in each microhole will be detected as a digital bit corresponding to the microhole, and the microhole, and the digital data of the memory device will be read or recorded in an easier and cost-saving way.
