Reconfigurable logic gate implemented by suspended-gate single-electron transistors

As the most attractive candidates for post-CMOS era, single-electronic transistors (SETs) can potentially deliver high device density and power efficiency at good speed. SET with suspended-gate has many more unique merits. Reconfigurable logic gate based on suspended-gate SET is designed, which can efficiently make use of the tunable coulomb oscillation and NEMS gate capacitances. The simulation result shows that the reconfigurable cell based on suspended-gate SET can flexibly realize many more functions at room temperature with high performance at much lower cost of area and power, and be very useful for the logic design based on suspended-gate SETs to construct some more efficient structures(e.g. FPGA, programmable architecture, and so on).
