Quantum-dot Cellular Automata Devices and Architectures
Abstract
We discuss novel nanoelectronic architecture paradigms based on cells composed of coupled quantum dots. Boolean logic functions may be implemented in specific arrays of cells representing binary inlormation, the so-called Quantum Dot Cellular Automata (QCA). In addition, we discuss possible realizations of these structures in a variety of semiconductor system (including GaAs/AlGaAs, Si/SiGe, and Si/SiO2), rings of metallic tunnel junctions, and candidates for molecular implementations.
