Abstract

Among various nanotechnology devices, single-electron tunneling devices are the most promising candidates to substitute the present CMOS devices. In this paper, a new single-electron threshold-logic circuit module is presented for realizing and implementing Nano-electronic circuits. The proposed module can be dedicated to implement all basic logic gates, such as OR, NOR, AND, NAND, XOR and XNOR gates, that can be integrated in various manners to design digital circuits. The simulation results demonstrate the accuracy and stability of proposed circuit module. Design capability and flexibility of this module are further evaluated through the synthesis of high-level circuits.
