Enhancement of Defect Tolerance in the QCA-based Programmable Logic Array (PLA)

Notsu T., Miura K., Nakamae K., Osaka University, JP

In this study we analyze the precedent AND/OR plane cell of a programmable logic array (PLA) based on the quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA), then propose a modified layout that has better defect tolerance. We analyzed [...]

Fault Detection and Diagnosis Techniques for Molecular Computing

Tahoori M.B., Mitra S., Northeastern University, US

Fault detection and diagnosis techniques that are essential for defect tolerance, fault tolerance and self-repair of molecular computing systems are discussed. These techniques enable robust molecular computing system design protected from manufacturing defects and run-time [...]
