A novel nanometer-scale electronic technology, called nanoelectronics is emerging. Nanoelectronic discrete devices, such as resonant tunneling diodes and transistors, singleelectron transistors, bistable quantum-cells, quantum interference devices, etc. have been proposed and built. Technology and physics of the devices are reasonably well understood, but there exists a gap between device physi...

Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) are an emerging technology and a possible alternative for faster speed, smaller size, and low power consumption than semiconductor transistor based technologies. Previously, adder designs based on conventional designs were examined for implementation with QCA technology. This paper utilizes the QCA characteristics to design a fault-tolerant adder that is more...

One-dimensional (1D) semiconductor nanostructures are promising building blocks for future nanoelectronic and nanophotonic devices. ZnO has proven to be a multifunctional and multistructural nanomaterial with promising properties. Here we report the growth of ZnO nanosquids which can be directly grown on planar oxidized Si substrates without using catalysts and templates. The formation of these...

SPICE has been the corner stone of integrated circuit simulation since the 1970s. The device-level options that are available for SPICE/analog simulators to simulate a circuit netlist are typically compact models and/or Verilog-A structural and behavioral models. Though these simulations are very accurate, for large and complex circuits/systems they are extremely slow and even computationally i...

the rapid scaling in modern cmos technology has motivated the researchers to design new analog-to-digital converter (adc) architectures that can properly work in lower supply voltage. an exchanging the data quantization procedure from the amplitude to the time domain, can be a promising alternative well adapt with the technology scaling. this paper is going to review the recent development in t...
