چکیده

A two-bit arithmetic logic unit (ALU) was successfully fabricated on a GaAs-based regular nanowire network with hexagonal topology. This fundamental building block of central processing units can be implemented on a regular nanowire network structure with simple circuit architecture based on graphical representation of logic functions using a binary decision diagram and topology control of the graph. The four-instruction ALU was designed by integrating subgraphs representing each instruction, and the circuitry was implemented by transferring the logical graph structure to a GaAs-based nanowire network formed by electron beam lithography and wet chemical etching. A path switching function was implemented in nodes by Schottky wrap gate control of nanowires. The fabricated circuit integrating 32 node devices exhibits the correct output waveforms at room temperature allowing for threshold voltage variation.

Word Level Symbolic Model Checking A New Approach for Verifying Arithmetic Circuits

The highly-publicized division error in the Pentium has emphasized the importance of formal verification of arithmetic operations. Symbolic model checking techniques based on binary decision diagrams (BDDs) have been successful in verifying control logic. However, lack of proper representation for functions that map boolean vectors into integers has prevented this technique from being used for ...
