چکیده
High performance NOT, NAND and NOR logic gates composed of GaAs-nanowire (NW)-based metal-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MESFETs) were constructed on flexible plastics through a noble top-down route. The representative GaAs-NW-based MESFETs exhibited superior electrical characteristics such as a high mobility (∼3300 cm(2) V(-) s(-1)), large I(on)/I(off) ratio (∼10(8)) and small subthreshold swing (∼70 mV/dec). The NOT, NAND and NOR logic gates showed a maximum voltage gain of 108 and logic swings of 97-99%. All of the logic gates successfully retained their electrical characteristics during 2000 bending cycles. Furthermore, the logic gates were well operated by square-wave signals of up to 100 MHz under various strain conditions. The high performances demonstrated in this study open the way to the realization of high speed flexible logic devices.

Two-phase dynamic FET !ogic (TDFL) gates are used in GaAs MESFET MSI circuits to implement very low power 4-b ripple carry adders and a variable modulus (2 to 31) prescaler. Operation of the adders is demonstrated at 500 MHz with an associated power dissipation of less than 1.0 mW and at 750 MHz with p d = 1.7 mW. The prescaler, which contains 166 TDFL gates and 79 static gates, i s shown to op...

متن کاملA Design Methodology for Reliable MRF-Based Logic Gates
Probabilistic-based methods have been used for designing noise tolerant circuits recently. In these methods, however, there is not any reliability mechanism that is essential for nanometer digital VLSI circuits. In this paper, we propose a novel method for designing reliable probabilistic-based logic gates. The advantage of the proposed method in comparison with previous probabilistic-based met...
