Abstract :
This paper presents a new cell family designed to perform reconfigurable operations in nanometric systems. Using new properties given by emerging devices, we can create cells based on various improvement objectives, such as increasing density or elementary device functionality. Therefore, a reconfigurable logic cell using high-density emerging technology is able to achieve an area improvement of over two orders of magnitude compared to an advanced CMOS design (projected 22 nm gate length node), whereas solutions based on carbon electronics improve drastically power characteristics.
