Towards ultra-low power digital circuit design with single-electron tunneling technology

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

As today's electronic devices are pushed toward nanometer scale, single-electron tunneling technology (SET) plays an increasingly important role in reducing both power consumption and physical size of future electronic systems. In SET-based circuits, individual electrons can be transported in a controlled manner for both analog and digital signal processing. While the opportunities created by SET devices for technical breakthroughs in electronics are clear, circuit designers are facing a lot of practical design challenges ahead.
