Keywords: , , ,

In this paper, a detailed simulation-based characterization of QCA defects and study of their effects at logic-level are presented. Different defect mechanisms for QCA active devices and interconnects are considered and the appropriate fault models at logic-level are investigated. Different implementations of QCA logic devices and interconnects are compared in term of defect tolerance and testability.
