Abstract
We present a computer-aided design method for constructing a circuit for a Boltzmann-machine neuron, utilizing single-electron tunneling (SET). We have found, through computer simulation, that a stochastic response unit circuit can be made in a simple configuration using SET junctions, and the probability for an output of 1 can be controlled by the input voltages.
