Abstract :
In this paper we present NAND gates designed using single electron logic. First the single-electron NAND behaviour is studied and then the energy performance of the circuit is examined. The whole design and simulation is made using a Monte-Carlo based tool. The results proved that the circuits were behaving as NAND gates, while the free energy study of the system and the stability diagram verified the correct functioning of the circuit.
