Abstract
Chemically assembled electronic nanotechnology (CAEN) is a promising alternative to CMOS for constructing circuits with feature sizes in the tens of nanometers range. In this paper we describe some of the recent advances in CAEN and how they influence the design of digital circuits. We show how reconfigurability supports inexpensive manufacturing. Finally, we describe a molecular latch that overcomes the lack of a viable CAEN-based transistor
