Abstract
This paper presents novel and extremely compact implementations, based of the multi-threshold threshold gate concept, for some useful building blocks for logic design. The circuits consist of resonant tunnelling diodes (RTDs) and heterostructure field effect transistors (HFETs). They can be used in nanopipelined architectures enabling high frequency operation of systems.
