Claims
- 1. A method of transferring information as one or more electron beams, comprising the steps of:
- preparing a plurality of units each of which comprises an electron beam generator, an electron beam detector and an electron beam generator driving means formed on one semiconductor substrate;
- controlling emission of electron beams from the electron beam generators in accordance with a plurality of pieces of information, and directing the electron beams so emitted to respective electron beam detectors, so that the respective electron beam detectors detect the respective electron beams; and
- converting the information into an electrical signal in accordance with the detection of the electron beams by the respective electron beam detectors.
- 2. A method of transferring information, using a plurality of units each of which comprises an electron beam generator, an electron beam detector and an electron beam generator driving means formed on one semiconductor substrate, said method comprising the steps of:
- directing at least one of an electron beam from a first unit and an electron beam from a second unit to an electron beam detector of a third unit; and
- performing a logical operation on the basis of an amount of charge accumulated in the electron beam detector of the third unit.
