Abstract
We report on a nanomachined electromechanical resonator applied as a mechanically flexible tunneling contact. The resonator was machined out of a single-crystal silicon-on-insulator substrate and operates at room temperature with frequencies up to some 73 MHz, transferring electrons by mechanical motion.Keywords
