Three-Dimensional Logic Architecture by Four-terminal Electrical Switches (FES) beyond Two-dimensional CMOS Architecture

Fujita S., Abe K., Lee T.H., Stanford University, US

The technology expected after the lithography limit to keep increasing the number of transistors is thought to be either use of new transistors such as CNT by bottom-up process or three-dimensional (3D) architecture. We have [...]

Polymeric Nanowire Architectures and Nanodevices

Liu H., Kameoka J., Verbridge S., Craighead H.G., Cornell University, US

We devised a method, named as scanned electrospinning technique, to form a variety of one-dimensional polymeric nanostructures. It is a straightforward technique that enables the rapid fabrication of oriented polymeric nanowires as well as their [...]

Room-Temperature InAlAs/InGaAs Planar Tunneling-coupled Transistor

Moon J-S., Rajavel R., Chow D., Bui S., Wong D., HRL Labs, US

In this talk, we report the first experimental demonstration of InAlAs/InGaAs planar tunneling-coupled transistors at room temperature, in which tunneling characteristics such as negative differential resistance (NDR) and peak current are controlled with high gain [...]

Novel Nonvolatile Logic Circuits with Three-Dimensionally Stacked Nanoscale Memory Device

Abe K., Fujita S., Lee T.H., Toshiba Corporation, JP

Various emerging memories have been proposed for ultra high-density memory, such as phase change memory, organic memory or resistive memory. However, the potential of the emerging memories is not limited to RAM only. We have [...]

Bayesian Modeling of Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata Circuits

Bhanja S., Srivastava S.N., University of South Florida, US

The goal of this work is to develop a fast, Bayesian Probabilistic Computing model [1], [2] that exploits the induced causality of clocking to arrive at a model with the minimum possible complexity. The probabilities [...]

The Computational Abilities of Random Magnetic Structures

Thenappan P., Madala S., Lusth J.C., University of Arkansas, US

In this paper, we investigate the computational abilities of random magnetic structures. Magnetic Quantum-dot Cellular Automata have the following advantages. They are simpler to fabricate and inputs are easier to control during computations. However, we [...]

Zgol M., Wright R.G., Adebimpe D., Callinan T., GMA Industries, Inc., US

This paper describes progress in the development efforts in creation of organic-based molecular equivalents of the legacy systems in todays aircraft and aircraft systems. Utilizing advances in nanoassembly methodologies, including electromagnetic field-based manipulation techniques and [...]

Two-Dimensional Simulation of Tunneling Using Quantum Lattice-Gas Automata

Sakai A., Kamakura Y., Taniguchi K., Osaka University, JP

We present the two-dimensional simulation of quantum tunneling considering the rough surface. It is demonstrated that the electron transmission through the potential barrier is significantly affected by the surface roughness pattern even if the same [...]
