  • Abstract
    This paper presents the work done to develop and characterize the behavior of binary tunneling phase logic (TPL) devices. Three input NAND, NOR and MINORITY functions are demonstrated using a single TPL element. The fan-out of the gates is discussed as well as the loading effects of multiple gates in cascade. Stable regions of operation are reported and future research possibilities are explored.
