Energy conservation in a circuit with single electron tunnel junctions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Much research is currently being carried out in the field of nanoelectronic circuit design [1], [2]. One of the proposed quantum devices is the Single Electron Tunneling (SET) device. This SET device consists of a tunnel junction, through which only an integer number of electrons can tunnel. A new local tunnel condition will be derived in this paper. The derivation is based on the discrete character of the tunnel current, represented by a delta function.

Towards a new kind of component: Superconductor Single Electron Transistor SSET
Single-electron transistors (SETs) are used to perform sensitive charge measurements and are widely discussed as possible components of dense integrated circuit. An exact model for a single-electron transistor (SET) was developed [1] early, within the circuit simulation package SPICE; it's constituted by two tunnel junctions, with two gates coupled to the island. We will present here a descript...

Multi Tunnel Junctions (MTJs) have attracted much attention recently in the fields of Single-Electron Transistor (SET) and Single-Electron Memory (SEM). In this paper, we investigate a nano-device structure using a two one dimensional array MTJs connected to the basic Single Electron Circuits, in order to analyze the impact of physical parameters on the performances and application of this stru...
متن کاملSingle-Electron Effects in Metals and Nanotubes for Nanoscale Circuits
As circuits are made smaller, certain new physical phenomena will appear. When the capacitance of components becomes so small that adding a single electron to that component causes the voltage to jump significantly, then singleelectron effects will have to be included in the device models. This can have important consequences for the conductance through the device and the noise that is observed...
متن کاملSome outlines of circuit applications for a single-electron 2-island subcircuit
To benefit from the reduction of the devices’ feature sizes new circuit concepts can be introduced. These new circuits will require new devices, such as singleelectronic devices. Single-electronics devices are capable of controlling the transport of only one electron. In this manner, the charge transfer through the device is quantized. However, single-electronics is still a highly experimental ...
متن کاملDesign and Reliability Analysis of a 4:1 Mux Using Single Electron Tunneling Technology Based Threshold Logic Gate
As single electron tunneling technology based threshold logic gate uses less no of tunnel junctions so it reduces the size of Boolean logic gate compare to single electron tunneling based logic gate and single electron transistor based logic gate. The design and simulation of a 4:1 multiplexer based on buffered threshold logic gate is presented in this paper. The logic operation is verified usi...
