A simple SET-MOS universal hybrid circuit for realization of all basic logic functions

Hybridization of Single Electron Transistor (SET) with CMOS technology offers new functionalities, which are very difficult to achieve either by pure SET or by pure CMOS approaches. This paper, for the first time, proposes the realization of all the basic logic gates with the help of a single SET-MOS hybrid logic circuit. The basic aim of the present work is to achieve a SET-CMOS integration based universal logic gate which is capable of exhibiting all basic logic functions under relevant situations. The operation of basic logic gates are verified using simulation. A necessary and novel CAD framework has been developed for hybrid SET-CMOS co-simulation, which employs conventional SPICE for MOS devices along with Monte Carlo simulation for SET devices.
