Abstract

Single-electron transistors (SETs) are considered as the attractive candidates for post-COMS VLSI due to their ultra-small size and low power consumption. And many researchers have proposed many logic units based on SETs. Through the analysis and simulation of the body-voltage effect of SET, for the first time, we propose a reconfigurable SET logic gate (RSETLG) based on the control of body-voltage. The simulation result by SPICE shows that the RSETLG can be very powerfully used to design many different logic gates because of its simple structure.
